Optional Accessories
This label identifies a feature that requires an
optional Motorola Original® accessory.
Battery Use
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximize battery performance:
• Always use Motorola Original® battery chargers. The
phone warranty does not cover damage caused from
using non-Motorola battery chargers.
• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a
long time may require a longer initial charge time.
• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature
when charging.
• Do not 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.
• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,
store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a
refrigerator.
• 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.
