■ About your device
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the CDMA 800
network. Contact your service provider for more information about networks.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and the
legitimate rights of others.
Warning: To use any features in this device, the device must be

cause interference or danger.
■ Network Services
To use the device you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of
the features require special network features. These features are not available on
all networks; other networks may require that you make specific arrangements
with your service provider before you can use the network services. Your service
provider can give you instructions and explain what charges will apply. Some
networks may have limitations that affect how you can use network services. For

The following features in this device may share memory: contacts; text
messages; graphics, images, recordings and tones in gallery; calendar notes;
games. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory available for
the remaining features sharing memory. Your device may display a message that
the memory is full when you try to use a shared memory feature. In this case,
delete some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory features
before continuing. Some of the features, such as text messages, contacts and log
may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to
the memory shared with other features.
■ Enhancements, batteries, and chargers

A few practical rules about accessories and enhancements:
• Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
• When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory or enhancement, grasp
and pull the plug, not the cord.
• Check regularly that enhancements installed in a vehicle are mounted and
are operating properly.
• Installation of any complex car enhancements must be made by qualified
personnel only.

If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and
receive messages to compatible phones also subscribed to a message
service. You can send and receive multimedia and e-mail messages if

contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your
device or PC.
