SAFETY, REGULATORY, & LEGAL
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 may damage the
product.
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most
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 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 by dropping, liquids or high temperatures.
* Note: Always make sure that the battery compartment and any connector covers
are closed and secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these
60
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 protection),
Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. You should confirm that any battery
you purchase has a "Motorola Original" hologram.
If you see a message on your display such as
Unable to Charge
, take the following steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it has a "Motorola Original"
hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and try charging it again;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola authorized service center.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper battery disposal is not
only important for safety, it benefits the environment. You can recycle your used
batteries in many retail or service provider locations. Additional information on
proper disposal and recycling can be found at
www.motorola.com/recycling
Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national recycling
organizations for more information on how to dispose of batteries.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
Battery Charging
Notes for charging your product's battery:
Battery Charging
• During charging, keep your battery and charger near room temperature for
efficient battery charging.
