•Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
handled with care: The following suggestions will help you protect your phone:
•Always keep the small parts of the phone away from children.
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture
can contain minerals that will rust electronic circuits. If your device does get wet,
remove the battery, and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
•Do not store the device in high or cold temperature. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices and damage batteries.
•Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
•Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
device. Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the device.
•Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
•Use chargers indoors
For details, see the After Service Guide supplied with the phone.
