Battery use & safety

The following battery use and safety information applies to all Motorola mobile devices. If

your mobile device uses a non-removable main battery (as stated in your product

information), details related to handling and replacing your battery should be disregarded —

the battery should only be replaced by a Motorola-approved service facility and any attempt

to remove or replace your battery may damage the product.

Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage.

Most

battery safety 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 use tools, sharp objects or excessive force to insert or remove the battery

as this can damage the battery.

• Don't let the mobile device or battery come in contact with liquids.*

Liquids can

get into the mobile device's circuits, leading to corrosion.

• 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 mobile device or battery.*

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 in any of the ways listed here.

* Note:

Always make sure that any battery, connector and compartment covers are closed

and secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these conditions, even if your

product information states that your

mobile device

can resist damage from these

conditions.
