Introduction to Batteries
Each battery is shipped in an uncharged state with a protective
clip on it. Before you can use your phone, you will need to
remove the clip from the battery and charge it.
Battery Clips
It is a good idea to save the protective clip to store and carry the
batterywhennot inuse.The clippreventsobjects fromtouching
the battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or
damage from a short circuit.

Charging Batteries
Using the Internal Rapid Charger
Believe it or not, there is a battery charger built right into your
phone!To make use ofthe internalcharger, you willneed either
an AC adapteror a vehicle power adapter.*
Keep in mind:When the internal charger is in use and the
phone is ON, you can still place and receive calls. However,
talking on the phone requires energy, so your phone may not
charge while the call is in progress.
Keep in mind:In some cars, the ignition must be ON to use
the vehicle’s** accessory power.
*Check with your retailer for availability of the adapters.
1. Attach
Adapterto
Phone
Plug the AC or vehicle power adapter into
the accessory connector on the bottom of
your phone as shown, with the release tab
facing up.
2. PlugIn
Adapter Plug the adapter into the appropriate power source. Your phone will beep to let you know
the AC adapter is connected on both ends.
**The use of wireless devices and their accessories (“devices”) may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of these
devices.
Important:
We recommend
keeping the
phone closed
when con-
nected to an
external power
supply, like a
charger or
vehicle
accessory.

Charging Batteries
The Battery Indicator
In the upper right corner of your phone’s display, there is a
battery indicator filled with three segments. The more segments
you see, the greater the charge.
•The border of the battery icon will flash during charging.
•When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon will stop
flashing and become solid.
Battery Storage and Disposal
To prolong the life of batteries, avoid exposing them to
temperaturesbelow-10°C (14°F)or above45°C(113°F). Itis a
good idea to take your phone with you when you leave your car.
Never dispose of batteries in fire. To dispose of batteries, contact
your local recycling center.
Caution:To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
Expert Performance (E•P®)Charging System
The E•P system enables your phone’s built-in charger to
communicate with installed batteries and tailor its charging
cycle to optimize performance. If you see Invalid Battery
whenyoupowerupthe phone,thebuilt-incharger is notableto
communicate with the battery and cannot charge it. There are
several possible reasons for this message. The most likely one is
that the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have
the appropriate E•P technology. We recommend that you use
only Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you
store your batteries in their protective clips when not in use.

Charging Batteries
Using the Desktop Charger
The Desktop Charger’s front pocket can charge batteries while
theyare attached toyour phone, andthe rear pocketcan charge
batteries separately.
If you have a Desktop Charger:
Note: If two batteries are loaded in the charger, the batteries
will charge one at a time, the battery loaded in the front pocket
followed by the battery in the rear pocket.
1. Attach
Adapter Plug the AC adapter into the back of the charger, with the release tab facing up.
2. PlugIn

Charging Batteries
Desktop Charger Indicators
The LED indicators on the left front of the Desktop Charger let
you know the current state of any charging batteries.
The Front Pocket LED Indicator:
•Yellow means the phone with a battery is securely installed.
•Open the phone to see the charge status for the front pocket.
The Rear Pocket LED Indicator:
•Red means the battery is charging.
•Flashing yellow means the battery is waiting to be charged.
•Green means the battery is charged to 90% of its capacity.
Another hour of charging will bring it up to 100% capacity.
•Flashing red means the battery is damaged and cannot be
charged.
Desktop Charger Charging Times
The time it takes for your battery to obtain a full charge is
affected by a variety of factors, including:
•TemperatureBatteries should be at or near room tempera-
ture when charging. To prolong battery life and charge
capacity, avoid exposingyour batteriesto temperaturesbelow
-10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). It is a good idea to
take your phone with you when you leave your car.
•InactivityNew batteries, or batteries that have been stored
for long periods of time, may not rapid charge properly. In
these instances, the battery requires an overnight charge.
•Extended UsageOver extended periods of time, batteries
gradually wear down and require longer charging times.
This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and
notice a decrease in talk-time or an increase in charging
time, then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
Important:
We recommend
keeping the
phone closed
when con-
nected to an
external power
supply, like a
charger or
vehicle
accessory.
