charge from your computer You can partially charge your phone's battery by connecting a Motorola-approved USB cable from your phone's micro-USB port to a high power USB connector on a computer (not a low-power one, such as the USB connector on your keyboard or buspowered 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. Your computer must be turned on, and you must have correct software drivers installed on your computer. If the Phone is off when the USB cable is connected between the computer and the phone, the phone will power up in charging mode. This mode allows the phone to charge fastest and quickest. Note: If the battery is very low, the phone will not turn On, but it will continue to charge at a 14 essentials low rate. The phone will power up in charging mode when the battery has been charged to approximately 5% of its capacity. For faster charging under a very low battery condition, it is recommended to use the rapid charger supplied with the handset. If the phone is turned on while charging from a computer, it will not fully charge the battery. In this case, the battery charge will be maintained approximately between 80% and 95% of the battery's capacity. Cables and software drivers are available in Motorola OriginalTM data kits, sold separately. Tip: Motorola batteries have circuitry that protects the battery from damage from overcharging. Of course, unplugging the charger from the wall will prevent the battery from overcharging.

charge from your computer
You can partially charge your phone’s
battery by connecting a Motorola-approved
USB cable from your phone’s micro-USB port
to a high power 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.
Your computer must be turned on, and you
must have correct software drivers installed
on your computer. If the Phone is off when
the USB cable is connected between the
computer and the phone, the phone will
power up in charging mode. This mode allows
the phone to charge fastest and quickest.
Note:
If the battery is very low, the phone will
not turn On, but it will continue to charge at a
low rate. The phone will power up in charging
mode when the battery has been charged to
approximately 5% of its capacity. For faster
charging under a very low battery condition, it
is recommended to use the rapid charger
supplied with the handset.
If the phone is turned on while charging from

In this case, the battery charge will be
maintained approximately between 80% and
