Take care of your phone

To guarantee your warranty service and ensure you have a satisfying phone experience, please care for your phone as follows:
Don’t use third-party screen protectors. Your phone comes with a Motorola- developed screen protector customized to Razr’s unique foldable design. The Motorola screen protector is of superior quality and preserves the predicted service life of your phone. In contrast, using third-party screen protectors may reduce your phone’s screen sensitivity, cause the main screen to become unresponsive, damage the screen, or cause other touch screen problems. In such cases, Motorola reserves the right to evaluate the situation and decide whether to provide you with free-of-charge warranty service during the remaining warranty period.
Contact an authorized Motorola service center if your screen protector has air bubbles, warps, or separates from the main screen during use. We may replace the screen protector because a compromised screen protector can damage the main screen and shorten the service life of the phone.
Only replace your screen protector with Motorola-approved service personnel who use professional equipment. Don’t replace the screen protector in service centers that Motorola doesn’t authorize or try to remove or replace the screen protector yourself. This may damage the main screen and void the warranty.
Take care not to physically damage your phone. Don’t puncture or apply excessive force to the main screen with a hard or sharp object while carrying your phone. Before closing the phone, always ensure that there are no obstructions between the screens or hinges. Items such as cards, coins, keys, and other objects can damage your screen or prevent your phone hinge from closing

Get Started

properly. Don’t use excessive force to press the middle area of the screen. Avoid exposing your phone to water, coffee, or other liquids. Also, don’t expose your phone to tiny pieces of debris, such as grit.
Important: This product contains magnets. Always keep products with magnets more than 20cm. (8 in.) from medical devices, such as pacemakers, internal cardio defibrillators, or other devices that can be affected by a magnetic field. Also, keep away from credit cards, ID cards, and other media that use magnetically encoded information.
Reminder: The crease at the bend on the main screen and the faint noise you may hear while flipping open the phone are part of the design and do not impact product durability.
Tips
» Restart your phone each morning to keep it running optimally. » When you’re near water, consider using a Bluetooth speaker to listen to
music from your phone while keeping it safe. For more, see Connect with Bluetooth wireless. » Hold your phone firmly when using gestures to open the camera or to turn the flashlight on/off. For more, see Gestures. » Don’t leave your phone in a hot car on a sunny day. If you do accidentally do this, let your phone cool off before powering up.
Prevent water damage
Your phone is water and splash resistant, but not completely waterproof. Avoid exposing your phone to pressurized water, salt water or liquids other than fresh water, and do not intentionally submerge it in any liquid. Water and splash resistance are not permanent, and the protection performance may continue to decline due to daily use.
Liquid damage is not covered by your warranty.
To prevent water damage to your phone:
» Do not expose your phone to pressurized water, salt water or liquids other than fresh water.
» Dry your phone and ports thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth. » Don’t try to charge your phone when it’s wet. » Don’t drop, puncture, or scratch your phone, as this could damage the
water repellent features.
Clean your phone
To disinfect your phone:
» Use wipes or cloths moistened with isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of 70% (specific for electro-electronic products).
» It is recommended that you turn your phone off to clean it. » Avoid moisture in the phone’s openings, including the charging port,
headset jack, microphones, and speakers.
Get Started

» Do not immerse the phone in cleaning agents, and do not use cleaning materials that contain bleach or abrasive agents.
» Do not use sprays directly on the screen.
