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 storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool,

dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.

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
