essentials
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.
• 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.

10
essentials
install the battery
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.
Note: When the battery is charging, the
phone automatically changes to the audible
Master Volume setting, regardless of which
ringstyle you have set. The phone changes
back to your selected ringstyle when you
disconnect the charger.
To charge using the charger:
1
Insert the
charger into the
USB connector
on your phone
as shown.
2 Plug the other
end of the

essentials
Tip: You can safely leave the charger
connected to the phone after charging is
complete. This will
not damage the battery.
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 one segment of
the battery level indicator must be visible to
ensure full phone functionality while charging.
To charge from your PC, connect 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.
