temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage
batteries.
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts
and electronic components can be damaged.
Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this
guide. Repairing this phone by yourself other than our authorized
service agents/centers goes against the warranty rules.
