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 38.
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

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
