CARING FOR YOUR PHONE
Make it last
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a mini-computer. Here are some tips to help you extend the life of your new phone.
Do not get your phone wet. Water will damage your phone and accessories.
Even a small amount can cause damage.
Protect your phone’s touch screen. Your phone’s touch screen is delicate. Guard against scratches by using a screen protector or by keeping it in a protective case.
Use the original manufacturer’s batteries and accessories. Non-approved
accessories can harm you and damage your phone.
Do not use damaged accessories. If your charger or any other accessory is damaged,
replace it or take it to a qualied service
dealer. Do not attempt to charge your phone if the charger has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or is otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your phone.
ACCESSORIES
Whether you want a charger, a fashionable carrying case, a Bluetooth headset, or you just want to browse for fun extras, T-Mobile is the place to shop for all your phone accessories. Here are a few examples…

SAFETY TIPS
Consider device compatibility
If you have a pacemaker or hearing aid, check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to use a cell phone. In some cases, cellular radio frequencies can disrupt the performance of other electronic equipment. If you have questions about the interaction between your phone and any other piece of electronic equipment, ask the equipment manufacturer.
Drive safely
When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you to use your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Here are a few tips:
n
Assess road conditions before answering your phone. Your safety is more important than any call.
n
Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one, or turn on your speakerphone, before you start moving.
n
Keep your phone close. If it rings and you discover it’s in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.
n
Pre-program frequently used numbers into your phone for easy, one-touch dialing.
n
Remember that laws prohibiting or restricting the use of a cell phone while driving may apply in your area.
EMERGENCY DIALING
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1 emergency calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to be approximated during a 9-1-1 call.*
* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling system that are required to be installed by the local 9-1-1 response agency or public safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone’s location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations, transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your phone, buildings/ tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions, and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or refused. The phone’s approximate location is transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on a phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please see T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and details.
