Battery Use & Safety
The following battery use and safety information applies to all Motorola mobile
Battery Use & Safety
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, unless performed by a service representative,
may damage the product and void your warranty.
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 (that may not have adequate safety
