Battery Use

Battery performance depends on many factors including your
wireless carrier's network configuration; signal strength; the
temperature at which you operate your handset; the features and/
or settings you select and use; items attached to your handset's
accessory connector port; your voice, data, and other application
usage pattern.
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to
contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximise your battery's performance:
• Always use Motorola Original™ batteries and battery
chargers. The handset warranty does not cover damage
caused by using non-Motorola batteries and/or battery
chargers.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may require a
longer charge time.
• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when
charging.
• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F)
or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your handset with you
when you leave your vehicle.
• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it
uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
• Batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging
times. This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and
notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging time,
then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this handset must
be disposed or properly and may need to be recycled.
Refer to your battery's label for battery type. Contact your
local recycling centre for proper disposal methods.
