The talk-time, stand-by time and total life cycle of a Motorola rechargeable battery for your Personal Communicator will depend on usage conditions and network configurations. As a consumable product, the specifications indicate that you should be able to obtain optimum performance for your Motorola Personal Communicator within the first six months from date of purchase and up to (200) charges (Optimum Performance Time). The warranty for Motorola rechargeable batteries becomes void if (i) the batteries are charged other than by Motorola approved battery chargers specified for the charging of the battery, (ii) any of the seals on the battery are broken or show evidence of tampering, (iii) the battery is used in equipment or service other than the cellular telephone equipment for which it is specified. Depending on operating conditions and your usage habits, wear and tear might take place of components including mechanical problems related to Product housing, paint, assembly, sub-assemblies, displays and keyboards and any accessories which are not part of the Product's in-box configuration. The rectification of faults generated through wear and tear and the use of consumable items like batteries beyond their Optimum Performance Time as indicated in the product manual is considered to be your responsibility and therefore Motorola will not provide the free Warranty repair service for these items.
