Getting Started; Preparing Battery For Initial Use - Motorola StarTAC 85 Owner's Manual

GETTING STARTED

The Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride Battery supplied with
your telephone must be fully charged before placing your phone into
service. The batteries are shipped from the factory in a discharged
state in order to extend the life of the battery. It is recommended that
you charge new batteries overnight, but not longer than 24 hours,
using a Motorola-approved charger.
WARNING: Battery may explode if exposed to fire. Charging your
battery in anything other than a Motorola charger will void
your warranty.
CAUTION: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects
to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
