Care and maintenance
Your phone has been designed and crafted with great care and attention and should also be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to enjoy your phone for many years.
•Protect your phone from moisture and humidity. Precipitation, hu- midity and liquids contain miner- als that will corrode electronic circuits. Should your phone none- theless become wet, disconnect it immediately from any power sup- ply to avoid electric shock. Do not place your phone (even to dry it) on/in a source of heat such as a microwave oven, oven or radiator. The phone may become overheat- ed and possibly explode.
•Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts may become damaged and the casing may become deformed and discoloured.
•Do not store your phone in hot ar- eas (e.g. vehicle instrument panel in the summer). High tempera- tures can shorten the life of elec- tronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store your phone in cold ar- eas. When the phone warms up again (to its normal ambient tem- perature), moisture can form in- side the phone, which may damage electronic components.
•Do not drop, knock or shake your phone. Rough handling can dam- age components inside the de- vice!
•Do not use harsh chemicals, clean- ing solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone!
•The suggestions given above ap- ply equally to your phone, battery, charger and all accessories. If any of these parts are not working properly, obtain fast and reliable help at our service centres (page 62).
