Battery Use & Battery Safety
• Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. Caution:
Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Improper battery use, or use
of a damaged battery, may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Important: Motorola mobile devices are designed to work best with
qualified batteries. If you see a message on your display such as
Invalid Battery or Unable to Charge, take the following steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it bears a
Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized Service
Center.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time
to charge.
• Charging precautions: When charging your battery, keep it near
room temperature. Never expose batteries to temperatures below
0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your
mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.
• When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
• It is normal over time for battery life to decrease, and for the battery
to exhibit shorter runtime between charges or require more frequent
or longer charging times.
