Of course, your phone isn’t indestructible, so to avoid damage from natural elements, such as water, sand and dust intrusion, always make sure that the battery door cover and connector covers are closed and secure.

4 Let's go

If your phone gets wet and/or dirty:

• Wipe with a soft cloth and shake to remove excess

water from the entire phone, especially the display screen, speaker and microphone ports.

• Allow your phone to air-dry for at least 1 hour before

using it again.

• Always make sure you clean all dirt and debris from

the battery door cover/seals and connector covers.

Note: Your phone is not designed to float or work

underwater.
