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, humidity and liquids contain min- erals that will corrode electronic circuits. Should your phone none- theless become wet, disconnect it immediately from any power sup- ply 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 become damaged.
•Do not store your phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store your phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up again (to its normal ambient tem- perature), moisture can form inside the phone, which may dam- age electronic components.
•Do not drop, knock or shake your phone. Rough handling can dam- age components inside the device!
•Do not use harsh chemicals, clean- ing solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone!
The suggestions given above 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 outlet. The personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, repair the device.
