Product and safety information 47
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery, and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
•Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
•Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
•Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
•Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
•Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean any lenses, such as camera, proximity sensor, and light sensor lenses.
•Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
•Use chargers indoors.
•Always create a backup of data you want to keep, such as contacts and calendar notes.
•To reset the device from time to time for optimum performance, power off the device and remove the battery.
These suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorised service facility for service.
Additional safety information
Small children
Your device and its accessories are not toys. They may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small children.
Operating environment
This device meets RF exposure guidelines in the normal use position at the ear or at least
1.5centimetres (5/8 inch)away from the body. Any carry case, belt clip, or holder for body- worn operation should not contain metal and should position the device the above- stated distance from your body.
To send data files or messages requires a quality connection to the network. Data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the transmission is completed.
Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Switch off your device when regulations posted instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment sensitive to external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
•Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device.
•Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
•Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
•Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.
