Battery Use & Safety
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 liquids.* Liquids can get into the
mobile device’s circuits, leading to corrosion.
• 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.* High temperatures can
cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction.
• 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 mobile device or
battery.* 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 by dropping, liquids or high
temperatures.
* Note: Always make sure that the battery
compartment and any connector covers are closed
and secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to
any of these conditions, even if your product
information states that your mobile device can
resist damage from these conditions.
Important: Motorola recommends you always
use Motorola-branded batteries and chargers
for quality assurance and safeguards. Motorola’s
warranty does not cover damage to the mobile
device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or
chargers. To help you identify authentic Motorola
batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries
(that may not have adequate safety protection),
Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. You
should confirm that any battery you purchase has a
“Motorola Original” hologram.
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
has a “Motorola Original” hologram;
