Battery Use and 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 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.
• 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.
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 phone or battery come in contact with
water. Water can get into the phone’s circuits, leading to
corrosion. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have them
checked by your carrier 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 battery near a heat source.
Excessive heat can damage the phone or the battery. High
temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or
malfunction. Therefore:
• Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or
heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
