Safety, Regulatory & Legal
Safety, Regulatory & LegalBattery Use & SafetyBattery Use & SafetyThe 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 jewelry, 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.
Important: Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and 
chargers for quality assurance and safeguards.
 Motorola’s warranty does not cover 
damage to the mobile device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. To help you 
identify authentic Motorola batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that may not 
have adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. You should 
confirm that any battery you purchase has a “Motorola Original” hologram.
If you see a message on your display such as 
Invalid Battery
 or Unable to Charge
, 
take the following steps:
Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it has a “Motorola Original” hologram;If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola battery;If there is a hologram, replace the battery and try charging it again;If the message remains, contact a Motorola authorized service center.Warning: 
Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, 
leakage, or other hazard.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling:
 Proper battery disposal is not only 
important for safety, it benefits the environment. You can recycle your used batteries in many 
retail or service provider locations. Additional information on proper disposal and recycling 
can be found at 
www.motorola.com/recycling
Disposal:
 Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local 
regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national recycling organizations 
for more information on how to dispose of batteries.
Warning: 
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
Battery ChargingBattery ChargingNotes for charging your product’s battery:
During charging, keep your battery and charger near room temperature for efficient 
battery charging.New batteries are not fully charged.New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that protects the battery from 
damage from overcharging.

Seizures, Blackouts & EyestrainTo reduce eyestrain and avoid headaches, it is always a good idea to hold the screen a 
comfortable distance from your eyes, use in a well-lit area, and take frequent breaks.

before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns, such as when playing video games,

blackout, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, or disorientation.

your physician before using an application that produces flashing-light effects on your mobile 
device.
Caution About High Volume UsageWarning: 
Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect 
your hearing. The louder the volume sound level, the less time is required before your hearing 
could be affected. To protect your hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your 
ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through 
your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
