The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. • New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.
• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your vehicle. • It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times.
