battery charging
New batteries are not fully
charged. Plug the battery
charger into your phone and an
electrical outlet. Your phone
might take several seconds to
start charging the battery. Your
display shows
Charge Complete
when finished.
Tip: Relax, you can’t overcharge your battery. It will perform
best after you fully charge and discharge it a few times.
Your phone has a light just below the external display that can
pulse when you charge your battery. To turn this light on or
off, see page 32.
You can charge your battery by connecting a cable
from your phone's mini-USB port to a USB port on
a 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.

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
the gray-edged pages at the back of this guide.
