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 into contact with water.*
Water can get into the mobile device’s circuits, leading to corrosion. If the mobile
device and/or battery get wet, get 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
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 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 by being dropped or by 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 that 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
Invalidbattery
or
Unabletocharge
, 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.
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.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling:
Proper battery disposal is not
only important for safety, it also benefits the environment. Consumers may recycle
their used batteries in many retail or service provider locations. Additional
information on proper disposal and recycling may be found on the web:

(in English only)
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.

Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that protects the battery
