items attached to the phone's accessory connector port;
and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow
metal objects to contact or short-circuit the battery
terminals.
To maximize your battery's performance:
• Always use Motorola Original batteries and battery
chargers. The phone warranty does not cover
damage caused from using non-Motorola batteries
and/or battery chargers.
• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a
long time may require a longer charge time.
• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature
when charging.
• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C
(14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your
phone with you when you leave your vehicle.
• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,
store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a
refrigerator.
• Batteries gradually wear down and require longer
charging times. This is normal. If you charge your
battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk time or
an increase in charging time, then it is probably time
to purchase a new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this
phone must be disposed of properly and may
need to be recycled. Refer to your battery's label
