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 be- come wet, immediately discon- nect it from any power supply and/or remove the battery, and leave the open phone to dry at room temperature!
•Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts may be damaged.
•Do not store your phone in hot ar- eas. High temperatures can short- en the life of electronic 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 above suggestions apply equally to your phone, battery, charger and all accessories. If any of these parts are not working properly, take them to your nearest qualified service out- let. The personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, repair the de- vice.
Do not paint it. Paint can clog your phone's moving parts and prevent proper operation.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage your phone and may violate FCC regulations governing radio devices.
If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service facility. Back up all data before taking your phone to a service center as maintenance or recovery of data is not guaranteed. If you have any sensitive information, please back it up and then delete it from your phone before taking your phone to the service center. The personnel there will assist you and, if neces- sary, arrange for service.
