Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

⬤Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

⬤Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.

⬤Blocking the internal antenna located near the hinge will reduce signal performance.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
