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 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 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 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.

• Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high

temperatures.*

DOs

• Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping

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

• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your phone

or battery has been damaged from dropping or high
temperatures.

* Note: If the product guide expressly states that your phone is
designed to resist damage from exposure to certain rugged
conditions, such as water immersion, rain, dust, high and low
temperatures, shock, or other conditions, do not exceed the stated
limits, and ensure the stated precautions are taken. 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
