Battery Use & Safety
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most
Battery Use & Safety
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.
