Battery use & safety
The following battery use and safety information applies to all Motorola mobile devices. Battery use & safety
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 jewellery,
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 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 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 try charging it again;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola authorised service centre.
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 also 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 centre or national recycling organisations 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.
• New batteries are not fully charged.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.
• Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that protects the battery from
damage from overcharging.
Third party accessories
Third party accessories Use of third party accessories, including, but not limited to, batteries, chargers, headsets,
covers, cases, screen protectors and memory cards, may have an impact on your mobile
device's performance. In some circumstances, third party accessories can be dangerous and
