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 mobile device or battery come in contact with
water.* Water can get into the mobile device's circuits, leading
to corrosion. If the mobile device and/or battery get wet, have
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 hairdryer 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.*
