Your Battery
Charging a New Battery
New batteries are supplied in a totally uncharged state.
To ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or battery that has not been used for
several months) should be charged for at least 14 hours before use.
A A new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles in order to achieve its
optimum performance.
A A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several months, may cause a
premature fully charged indication. Ignore this indication and let the battery charge
for several more hours, remove and re-insert the battery into the charger, and charge
for an additional 14 hours.
Important Battery Information
! Always treat your batteries with care. See Batteries on page 10, of this manual.
! Never leave your battery in extremely high temperatures (over 60°C), for
example behind glass in very hot, direct sunlight.
! Only Motorola Original Accessory batteries can be charged in the phone or the
optional desktop charger. This is to protect you and your phone from the risks
of incorrect charging.
A Do not use lithium ion batteries at extremely low temperatures as the maximum
standby/talk time will not be available when cold.
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your battery to its fullest capacity:
• The battery should be at or near room temperature when charging.
Battery Performance and Maintenance
• Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly charge and discharge
batteries as instructed in this manual.
• Battery performance is greatly affected by network coverage.
• Set Battery Saving Mode to On (see Phone Setup Menu on page 66) and/or
Frequency of Search to Slow or Medium (see Network Selection Menu on
page 74).
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in approximately one month.
• When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time remain, a warning signal (two
double beeps) will sound, the border of the battery symbol will begin to flash, and
Low
Battery will be displayed.
When the battery is completely discharged, your phone will turn off.
