Battery Safety

IMPORTANT Battery safety depends on the proper selection and care of batteries.

Security Implementation/Protection From Counterfeit Batteries

Motorola devices are designed to work only with Motorola batteries. If you see a battery fault indication on the
device display, take the following steps:
•
Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it bears the Motorola name and/or logo.
•
If there is no Motorola name and/or logo, the battery is not a qualified battery.
•
If there is a Motorola name and/or logo, replace the battery and retry charging it.
•
If the message remains, contact a Motorola service center.

Motorola Battery Safety Recommendations For Users

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.
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred or otherwise attempt to change the form of the battery.
•
Do not let the device or battery come in contact with water. Water can get into the circuits, leading to
corrosion. If the device and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your administrator or contact Motorola
even if they appear to be working properly.
•
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal objects stay in prolonged contact with the battery
contact points, the battery could become very hot.
•
Do not place the battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can damage the device 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 the device in areas of high temperatures.
•
Do not drop the battery or device. Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause
damage.
•
Contact your service provider or Motorola if your device or battery was damaged from dropping or as a result
of exposure to high temperatures.
IMPORTANT Use only Motorola-branded batteries and chargers.
