Your Battery
Charging a New Battery
New batteries are supplied in a totally
uncharged state. To ensure maximum
battery performance, charge a new
battery (or battery that you have not used
for several months) for at least 14 hours
before use.
AA new battery will require several full
charge/discharge cycles in order to
achieve its optimum performance.
AA new battery or one that has not
been used for several months, may
cause a premature fully charged
indication. Ignore this indication and
charge the battery 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 battery with
care. See “Batteries” on page 16.
! 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. This is to protect you and
your phone from the risks of
incorrect charging.
ADo not use lithium ion batteries at
extremely low temperatures, as the
maximum standby/talk time will not
be available when cold.
To ensure maximum battery life, the
battery should be at or near room
temperature when charging.
