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 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 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.
*Note: If the product guide expressly states that your phone is
designed to resist damage from exposure to certain rugged
conditions, such as water immersion, rain, dust, high and low
temperatures, shock, or other conditions, do not exceed the
stated limits, and ensure the stated precautions are taken.
Always make sure that the battery compartment is closed and
secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these
conditions.
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.
