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.

11
essentials
• 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.
• Avoid damage to battery and mobile
device.
Do not disassemble, open, crush,
bend, deform, puncture, shred, or submerge
the battery or mobile device. Avoid dropping
the battery or mobile device, especially on a
hard surface. If your battery or mobile device
has been subjected to such damage, take it to
a Motorola Authorized Service Center before
using. Do
not attempt to dry it with an
appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer
or microwave oven.
• Use care when handling a charged
battery
—particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects. Contact with metal objects (such as
jewelry, keys, beaded chains) could complete
an electrical circuit (short circuit), causing the
battery to become very hot, which could
cause damage or injury.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations. Contact
your local recycling center for proper battery
disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because
they may explode.

cable connections
Your phone has a
mini-USB port so
you can connect it to a
computer.
If you use a USB cable
connection:
• Make sure to connect the phone to a
high-power USB port on your computer (not a
low-power one such as the USB port on your
keyboard or bus-powered USB hub). Typically,
USB high-power ports are located directly on
your computer.
Note: If you connect your phone to a
low-power USB port, the computer may not
recognize your phone.
• Make sure both your phone and the computer
are turned on.
TTY operation
You can use an optional TTY device with your phone to
send and receive calls. You must plug the TTY device
into the phone’s headset connector and set the phone
to operate in one of three TTY modes.
Note: Use a TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the
TTY manufacturer) to connect the TTY device to your
phone.
Note: Set the phone to level 4 (middle setting) for
proper operation. If you experience a high number of
incorrect characters, adjust the volume as needed to
minimize the error rate.
Note: For optimal performance, your phone should be
at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY
device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device
may cause high error rates.
