Charging a New Battery
To ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or
battery that has not been used for several months) should be
charged for about 3-4 hours before use.

A new NiMH battery may require several full charge/discharge
cycles in order to achieve its optimum performance.
After this initial charge, you can recharge your battery at your
convenience, using the phone’s rapid travel charger.

Important Battery Information
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your
battery to its fullest capacity:
•
Always use Motorola approved battery chargers.
•
For the best results, Li-Ion batteries should be charged using
the E•P Desktop Charger, or your phone’s internal charger.
•
The battery should be at or near room temperature when
charging.
•
When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark
and dry place.
!
Do not leave a NiMH battery connected to any charger for
longer than 24 hours.
Handling Batteries
Your new batteries are fitted with protective covers. These covers
must be removed before the battery can be used. Save the covers
to carry and store batteries which are not in use. Covers prevent
electrically conductive objects from making contact with the
battery terminals, thereby reducing the risk of injury or damage
from a battery short circuit.
