Getting Started
Install the Battery Battery Tips
Battery life depends on the network, signal
strength, temperature, features, and
accessories you use.
Always use Motorola Original
batteries and chargers. The
warranty does not cover damage
caused by non-Motorola batteries
and/or chargers.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long
time may take more time to charge.
When charging your battery, keep it near room
temperature.
When storing your battery, keep it uncharged
in a cool, dark, dry place.
Never expose batteries to temperatures
below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
Always take your phone with you when you
leave your vehicle.

Getting Started
It is normal for batteries to gradually wear
down and require longer charging times. If
you notice a change in your battery life, it is
probably time to purchase a new battery.
Contact your local recycling center for
proper battery disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire
because they may explode.
Before using your phone, read the battery
safety information in the “Safety and General
Information” section included in this guide.
Charge the Battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged.
Before you can use your phone, you need to
install and charge the battery as described
below. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles.
Using the Charger
1 Insert the
charger into the
USB connector
on your phone
as shown.
2 Plug the other
end of the
charger into the
appropriate electrical outlet.
3 When your phone indicates Charge Complete ,
remove the charger.
Tip: You can safely leave the charger
connected to the phone after charging is
complete. This will
not damage the battery.
Note: When you charge the battery, the
battery level indicator in the upper right corner
of the display shows how much of the
charging process is complete. At least 1
segment of the battery level indicator must be

Getting Started
visible to ensure full phone functionality while
charging.
Charging from a Computer
You can charge your battery by connecting a
cable from your phone's mini-USB port to a
high-power USB port on a computer (not a
low-power one such as the USB port on your
keyboard or bus-powered USB hub). Typically,
USB high-power ports are located directly on
your computer.
Both your phone and the computer must be
turned on, and your computer must have the
correct software drivers installed. Cables and
software drivers are available in Motorola
Original data kits, sold separately.
Note: When your phone’s battery is dead or
has a very low charge, you must use the
phone’s charger to recharge the battery. You
cannot use a USB-cable connection to a
personal computer to charge a weak or dead
phone battery.
Turn On Your Phone
1 Open your phone.
2 Press and hold the
power key for 3
seconds.
The phone may
require several
seconds to power on.
3 If necessary, enter your 4-digit unlock
code (the last 4 digits of your phone
number) and press
OK to unlock the
phone.
