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.

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

MaintainingSafeUseofandAccess to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

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 or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.

Battery Use and Safety

Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries.

DON’Ts

Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.
