General Precautions

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

⬤To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of your phone where the internal antenna is located while using the phone.

⬤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.

⬤Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).

⬤Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.

⬤Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.

Note: For the bestcare of your phone, only Sprint-authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

DoNotRelyonYourPhoneforEmergencyCalls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
