Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

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 in the upper right corner will reduce signal performance.

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