Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years. When using your phone, battery, charger, OR any accessory:

•Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s reach.

•Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

•Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts can be damaged.

•Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

•Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up (to its normal operating temperature), moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage the phone's elec- tronic circuit boards.

•Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device may damage it.

•Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.

•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it.

•Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper operation.

•Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may violate regulations governing radio devices.

•If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory is not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if neces- sary, arrange for service.
