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 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
