battery tips
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength,
temperature, features, and accessories you use.
Always use Motorola Original batteries and
chargers. The warranty does not cover
damage caused by non-Motorola batteries
and/or chargers.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
When charging your battery, keep it near room
temperature.
When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool,
dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C
(1F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone
with you when you leave your vehicle.
10
essentials
It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and
require longer charging times. If you notice a change in
your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.
Contact your local recycling center for proper battery
disposal.
Warning:
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they
may explode.
Before using your phone, read the battery safety information
in the “Safety and General Information” section included in
