When you charge the battery, the battery level indicator in the

upper right corner of the display shows how much of the charging

process is complete. See “Battery Level Indicator” on page 24.

Battery Use

Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to

contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximise battery performance:

Always use Motorola Original™ batteries and battery

chargers. The phone warranty does not cover damage caused

from using non-Motorola batteries and/or battery chargers.

New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long

time may require a longer initial charge time.

Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when

charging.

Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F)

or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you

when you leave your vehicle.

When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it

uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.

Over time, batteries gradually wear down and require longer

charging times. This is normal. If you charge your battery

regularly and notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in

charging time, then it is probably time to purchase a new

battery.

2 Plug the other end of the travel charger into the

appropriate electrical outlet.

3 When your phone indicates

Charge Complete

, remove

the travel charger.
