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.
IMPORTANT: USE MOTOROLA ORIGINAL PRODUCTS FOR QUALITY
ASSURANCE AND SAFEGUARDS. To aid consumers in identifying authentic
Motorola batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that may not have
adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries.
Consumers should confirm that any battery they purchase has a "Motorola Original"
hologram.
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and
chargers. Motorola mobile devices are designed to work with Motorola batteries.

Specific Absorption Rate Data

SAR Data
This model wireless phone meets the government's
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is
1
1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and
Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry
Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each
government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
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 has a "Motorola Original"
hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized Service Center.
Important: Motorola's warranty does not cover damage to the phone caused by
non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
PROPER AND SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety, it benefits the environment.
Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many retail or service provider
locations. Additional information on proper disposal and recycling may be found on
the Web:
• www.motorola.com/recycling
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the
FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR
value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.44 W/
kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.79 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and regulatory requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this
product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later
products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.

(CTIA) Web site:

1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
2. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for
this product.
