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.
To save battery life:
•
Adjust the backlight to turn off more quickly
(see page 31).
• Turn on Battery Save (see page 33).

using it (see page 50).
