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 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 carrier 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.
• Do contact your service provider or Motorola
if your phone or battery has been damaged
from dropping or high temperatures.
