Section 1B: Your Phone: The Basics 15
Phone Basics
䢇 It is normal for battery life to decrease over time, and for
the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between charges or
require more frequent or longer charging times.
䢇 Avoid damage to battery and mobile device. Do not
disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
or submerge the battery or mobile device. Avoid dropping
the battery or mobile device, especially on a hard surface.
If your battery or mobile device has been subjected to
such damage, take it to a Motorola Authorized Service
Center before using. Do not attempt to dry it with an
appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or
microwave oven.
䢇 Use care when handling a charged battery — particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container
with metal objects. Contact with metal objects (e.g.,
jewelry, keys, beaded chains) could complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit), causing the battery to become very
hot, which could cause damage or injury.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Contact your local recycling center
for proper battery disposal.
WARNING
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.
