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 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.* 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 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 that any battery they purchase has
a “Motorola Original” hologram.
