Battery Use & Safety
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 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 carrier 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.
Important: Use Motorola Original products for quality assurance
and safeguards. To aid consumers in identifying authentic Motorola
batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that may not have
adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its
batteries. Consumers should confirm that any battery they purchase has
a "Motorola Original" hologram.
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. Motorola mobile devices are designed to
work with Motorola batteries. If you see a message on your display
such as Invalid Battery or 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 retry charging
it;
