Extending Battery Life
Battery performance depends on many factors, including the
temperature at which you operate your handheld computer;
the features and/or settings you select and use; peripherals
attached to the computer and other application usage pat-
terns.
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
!
objects to come in contact with or short-circuit the
battery contacts.
Caution
Batteries are expendable parts and gradually wear down and
require longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge
your battery regularly and notice a decrease in usage time or
an increase in charging time, then it is probably time to
switch to a new battery.
To ensure maximum service life of the HC700-G, always
replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement.
Battery Disposal
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly in accor-
dance with local requirements. Recycling facilities may not
exist in all areas. Please contact your local environmental
agency for more information regarding proper disposal.
