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 mobile device or battery come in contact with
water.*
Water can get into the mobile device’s circuits, leading to
corrosion. If the mobile device and/or battery get wet, have them
checked by your service provider 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 mobile device or battery near a heat
source.*
Excessive heat can damage the mobile device or the
battery. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or
malfunction. Therefore:
• 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 battery or mobile device.*
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 from dropping or high
temperatures.
*Note:
Always make sure that the battery compartment is closed and
secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these
conditions.
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 try charging it again;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola authorized service
center.
Important: Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the mobile
device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk
of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
