battery use & safety
IMPORTANT: HANDLE AND STORE BATTERIES PROPERLY TO
AVOID INJURY OR DAMAGE. Most battery issues arise from improper
handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged
batteries.
DON'Ts
• Don't disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise
attempt to change the form of your battery.
• Don't let the phone or battery come in contact with water.
Water can get into the phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. If
the phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your
carrier or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be working
properly.
• Don't allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal
objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged contact with the
battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.
• Don't place your battery near a heat source. Excessive heat
can damage the phone or the battery. High temperatures can
cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Therefore:
• Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat
source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
• Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.
DOs
• Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these
items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause
damage.
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your
phone or battery has been damaged from dropping or high
temperatures.
