Battery Charging Tips
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and
use your battery to its fullest capacity:
• Always use Motorola approved battery
chargers.
• For the best results, charge Li-Ion batteries
using the E•P™ Desktop Charger or your
phone's internal charger.
• The battery should be at or near room
temperature when charging.
• New batteries or batteries that have been
stored for long periods of time may not rapid
charge properly. In these instances, the
battery requires an overnight charge.
• When you don't intend to use a battery for a
while, store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry
place, such as a refrigerator.
• Over extended periods of time, batteries
gradually wear down and require longer
charging times. This is normal. If you charge
your battery regularly and notice a decrease
in talk-time or an increase in charging time,
then it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.
• Battery life depends on the battery used,
network configuration, signal strength, and
the features selected. Talking or using
features on the phone uses more power than
leaving it idle.
• Your phone operates more efficiently in
digital mode than in analog mode.
