Caring for Your Phone
MAKING IT LAST
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a mini-computer. Here are some hints that should help you extend the life of your new phone.
Store your phone in a protective case. The touch screen of your phone is delicate and should be protected from scratches.
Phones aren’t cheap, so keep yours in a safe place—away from children who may find it fun to see if the phone sinks or floats, and away from dogs that find plastic-coated products to be irresistible chew toys.
Water will damage your phone and accessories—even a small amount such as water droplets from a soda in your car cup-holder, melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossfire or steam from hot water in the kitchen or bathroom.
Use only batteries and accessories from the original manufacturer of your phone. Non-approved accessories can cause damage to you or your phone and shorten the phone’s life. Hint: If it’s being sold out of someone’s car trunk, walk away.
