Legal and Safety 73
• 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.
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.
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. Motorola mobile devices are designed
to work with Motorola batteries. If you see a message on your
display such as
I nvalid Battery or Unable to Charge, take the following
steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it has a
“Motorola Original” hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola
battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry
charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola authorized
service center.
Important: Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the
phone caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper
battery disposal is not only important for safety, it benefits the
environment. Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many
retail or service provider locations. Additional information on
proper disposal and recycling may be found on the Web:

Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national
recycling organizations for more information on how to dispose of
batteries.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.
