Battery Use & Safety
The following battery use and safety information applies to all Motorola mobile devices. If
Battery Use & Safety
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.
