MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance

Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder.

Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.

Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

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.

Note: For the bestcare of your phone, only Sprintauthorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
