Battery Use & Safety
The following battery use and safety information Battery Use & Safety
applies to all Motorola mobile devices. If your mobile
device uses a non-removable main battery (as stated
in your product information), details related to
handling and replacing your battery should be
disregarded—the battery should only be replaced by
a Motorola-approved service facility, and any attempt
to remove or replace your battery may damage the
product.
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to
avoid injury or damage. Most battery safety 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 use tools, sharp objects, or excessive force
to insert or remove the battery as this can
damage the battery.
• Don't let the mobile device or battery come in
contact with liquids.* Liquids can get into the
mobile device's circuits, leading to corrosion.
• 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 mobile device or battery near a
heat source.* High temperatures can cause the
battery to swell, leak, or malfunction.
• Don't dry a wet or damp battery with an
appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or
microwave oven.
DOs
• Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car in
high temperatures.*
• Do avoid dropping the mobile device or battery.*
Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface,
can potentially cause damage.*
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if
your mobile device or battery has been damaged
in any of the ways listed here.
* Note: Always make sure that any battery, connector
and compartment covers are closed and secure to
avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these
conditions, even if your product information states
that your mobile device can resist damage from
these conditions.
Important: Motorola recommends you always use
Motorola-branded batteries and chargers for
quality assurance and safeguards. Motorola's
warranty does not cover damage to the mobile
device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or
chargers. To help you identify authentic Motorola
batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries
