Battery Use & Safety

Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid
injury or damage.
Most battery issues arise from improper
handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of
damaged batteries.

DON’Ts

• Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or

otherwise attempt to change the form of your
battery.

• Don’t let the mobile device or battery come in

contact with water.* Water can get into the mobile
device’s circuits, leading to corrosion. If the mobile device
and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your service
provider or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be
working properly.*

• Don’t allow the battery to touch metal objects. If

metal objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged contact
with the battery contact points, the battery could become
very hot.

• Don’t place your mobile device or battery near a

heat source.* Excessive heat can damage the mobile

device or the battery. High temperatures can cause the
battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Therefore:

• Don’t dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or

heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.

DOs

• Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car in

high temperatures.*

• Do avoid dropping the battery or mobile device.*

Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can
potentially cause damage.*

• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your

mobile device or battery has been damaged from
dropping or high temperatures.

* Note: Always make sure that the battery compartment is closed
and secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these
conditions.

Important: Use Motorola Original products for quality
assurance and safeguards.
To aid consumers in identifying
authentic Motorola batteries from non-original or counterfeit
batteries (that may not have adequate safety protection), Motorola
provides holograms on its batteries. Consumers should confirm
