Q. Every time I turn on my phone it beeps and the display reads
Invalid
Battery
. What is going on?
A. Your Motorola cellular phone implements the Motorola Expert Performance
(E•P ™) charging system. This system allows the charger that is built into the
phone to communicate with the battery. Based on this communication, the
charger can tailor the charging cycle to optimize performance. If your charging
system is not communicating with the battery, your phone will beep and display
an

with this battery.
There are several reasons why your battery might not be communicating. The
most likely reason is that the battery you purchased is not a Motorola original
and the battery does not have the appropriate communication technology built
into it. All Motorola batteries are built with the appropriate communication tech-
nology. We recommend that you use Motorola original batteries and accessories
and that you store your batteries in the protective battery cover that comes with
the phone.

Q. The display says, “
Locked
.” How do I unlock my phone?
A. Try entering the last three digits of your cellular number. If that doesn’t work, try
using the factory preset lock code: 123. If all else fails, call your cellular service
provider (the company that sends you your monthly cellular bill) for assistance.

Troubleshooting
Q. I pressed the power button, but nothing happened. What’s wrong with
my phone?
A. Check that you have installed a battery and that the battery is charged. See pages
16-27 for more information about batteries for the StarTAC phone.
Q. My battery didn’t last as long as I expected. What can I do to extend battery life?
A. Keep in mind that your battery’s “talk-time” and “standby-time” are a relative
measurement of the battery’s capacity. The more you talk on the phone, the less
standby-time you will have and vice versa.
standby-time you will have and vice versa.
To get the most from your battery, make sure it is fully charged. To charge the
battery to 100% of its capacity, leave it in the charger for an extra hour after the
charger’s light turns green.

Certain features can demand power from your battery and reduce battery life. If
you have selected the Automatic Display of Individual Call Timer feature, the
display uses battery power to remain active during each call. Turn this feature OFF
to conserve battery energy. (See page 59 for more information on this feature.)

Exposing your battery to extreme temperatures—below -10°C (14°F) or above
45°C (113°F)—can shorten battery life. Batteries are especially sensitive to high
temperature extremes. As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you
when you leave your car.
