Battery use & safety
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage.
Battery use & safety
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 mobile device or battery come into contact with water.*
Water can get into the mobile device's circuits, leading to corrosion. If the mobile
device and/or battery get wet, get them checked by your service provider 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
jewellery, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery
could become very hot.
• Don't place your mobile device or battery near a heat source.* Excessive
heat can damage the mobile device or the battery. High temperatures can cause
the battery to swell, leak or malfunction. Therefore:
• Don't dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as
a hair dryer or microwave oven.
DOs
• Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car in high temperatures.*
• Do avoid dropping the battery or mobile device.* Dropping these items,
especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.*
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your mobile device or
battery has been damaged by being dropped or by high temperatures.
* Note: Always make sure that the battery compartment is closed and secure to
avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these conditions.
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),
