72 Legal and Safety
Battery Use and Safety
• In very limited circumstances, such as where your phone
has been exposed to extreme heat Cool Down message
screens will appear. To avoid possible damage to your
battery and phone, you should follow these instructions
until the phone is within its recommended temperature
range. When your phone is in Cool Down mode, only
emergency calls may be made.
• 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.
