Battery charging
New batteries are not fully charged.
Plug the battery charger into your phone
and an electrical outlet. Your phone
might take several seconds to start
charging the battery.
To charge using the charger:
1 Insert the charger into the USB
connector on your phone as
shown.
2
Plug the other end of the charger
into the appropriate electrical
outlet
.
3 When your phone displays
Charge
Complete
, remove the charger.
When you charge the battery, the
battery level indicator at the upper right
of the screen shows charging progress.
At least one segment of the indicator
must be visible to ensure full phone
functionality while charging.
Tip: Motorola batteries have circuitry
that protects the battery from damage
from overcharging. Of course,
unplugging the charger from the wall
will avoid current drain.
To charge from your computer:
You can charge your phone’s
battery by connecting a cable from your
phone’s mini-USB port to a highpower
USB connector on a computer (not a
low-power one, such as the USB
connector on your keyboard or bus-
powered USB hub). Typically, USB high-
power connectors are located directly
on your computer.
Note: The phone will be charged at a
slower rate than it is charged with the
rapid charger.
