Rugged

Your phone is designed to be tough and durable, helping to protect it from life’s extremes. So whether your life gets cold and wet, warm and humid, or dry and dusty, your phone can handle it.

Of course, your phone isn’t indestructible, so remember:

• Always make sure that the battery and connector

covers are closed and secure.

• Avoid prolonged or extreme exposure to rugged

conditions.

And finally, the details. Your phone will resist damage from exposure to these rugged conditions: high/low temperatures, water, blowing rain, humidity, salt fog, dust, shock, vibration, and low pressure (high altitude).

Choose carefully

Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play, communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:

• To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from

affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like

• In the Google Play™ Store, check the apps’ ratings

and comments before installing.

• If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.

• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,

data, battery, and processing power—some more than others. For example, a simple battery level widget will use less than a streaming music player app. After installing an app, if you're not happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it again later.

To avoid possible damage to your battery and phone, you should follow these instructions until the phone is within its recommended temperature range.

Emergency calls

Emergency numbers vary by country. Your pre-programmed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.
