battery use & safety
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.
DON'Ts
• Don't disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change
the form of your battery.
• Don't let the phone or battery come in contact with water. Water can get into
the phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have
them checked by your carrier 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
jewelry, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery could
become very hot.
• Don't place your battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can damage the
phone 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 your phone in your car in high temperatures.
DOs
• Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these items, especially on a
hard surface, can potentially cause damage.
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your phone or battery has
been damaged from dropping or high temperatures.
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), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. Consumers
should confirm that any battery they purchase has a "Motorola Original" hologram.
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and
chargers. Motorola mobile devices are designed to work with Motorola batteries. If
you see a message on your display such as Invalid Battery or Unable to Charge, take the
following steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it has a "Motorola Original"
hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized Service Center.
Important: Motorola's warranty does not cover damage to the phone caused by
non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
PROPER AND SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety, it benefits the environment.
Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many retail or service provider locations.

organizations for more information on how to dispose of batteries.
