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 phone or battery come in contact with water.
Water can get into the phone's circuits, leading to corrosion. If the
phone 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 battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can
damage the phone or the battery. High temperatures can cause the
battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Therefore:
• Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source,
such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
• Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.*
DOs
• Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these items,
especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.*
