Important Motorola mobile devices are designed to
work best with qualified batteries. If you see a
message on your display such as Invalid
Battery or Unable to Charge , take the
following steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to
confirm that it bears a Motorola "Original
Equipment" hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not
a qualified battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery
and retry charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a
Motorola Authorized Service Center.
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
Charging precautions:

45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your
mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.
When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry
place.
