• When storing your battery, keep it in a
cool, dry place.
• It is normal over time for battery life to
decrease, and for the battery to exhibit
shorter runtime between charges or
require more frequent or longer
charging times.
• Avoid damage to battery and mobile
device. Do not disassemble, open,
crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
or submerge the battery or mobile
device. Avoid dropping the battery or
mobile device, especially on a hard
surface. If your battery or mobile
device has been subjected to such
damage, take it to a Motorola

using. Do not attempt to dry it with an

appliance or heat source, such as a hair
dryer or microwave oven.
• Use care when handling a charged
battery — particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. Contact
with metal objects (e.g., jewelry, keys,
beaded chains) could complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit), causing
the battery to become very hot, which
could cause damage or injury.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations.
Contact your local recycling center for
proper battery disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire
because they may explode.
