phone.
To protect the internal display (flexible screen):
»\Never insert anything into or try to lift the edges of the display.
»\Never use a screen protector. To protect the internal display, close your phone when not in use.
»\Don’t use a stylus or any sharp object on the display. Don’t tap or press the display with sharp objects such as fingernails or a pen.
»\Close the phone before putting it in your pocket or purse. Make sure there are no objects or debris on the screen before you flip it closed.
Other tips:
»\Don’t submerge your phone in water or other liquids. When you’re near water, consider using a Bluetooth speaker to listen to music from your phone while keeping it safe. For more, see Connect with Bluetooth wireless.

»\Hold your phone firmly when using gestures to open the camera or to turn the flashlight on/off. For more, see Moto Actions.
»\Don’t leave your phone in a hot car on a sunny day. If you do accidentally do this, let your phone cool off before powering up.
»\Unlike glass displays, your phone’s display is not rigid and is designed to fold. It’s normal to see slight waviness where the display folds. You also may feel unevenness under the fold area. This is normal and will not effect the use of the touch screen.
»\When opening and closing your phone, you may notice sounds due to the motion of the hinge and display. This is normal.
