Before You Start

Safety Instructions

WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not

expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom, swimming pool, etc.

Always store your phone away from heat. Never store your
phone in settings that may expose it to temperatures less than
32°F or greater than 104°F, such as outside during extreme
weather conditions or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to
excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage
and/or catastrophic failure.

Be careful when using your phone near other electronic
devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect

nearby in adequately shielded electronic equipment. You
should consult with manufacturers of any personal medical
devices such as pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if
they are susceptible to interference from your mobile phone.

Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station.
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as this will
cause the battery to explode.

IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY INFORMATION on
page 78 before using your phone.
