performance, such as illegible messages, button malfunction, or repeated
communication failures. If any signs of deterioration are observed, stop using
the device and call Customer Care if there are questions or for information about
device replacement.

If you drop the PDM
The PDM is built to withstand daily wear and tear, but shock or a severe impact
can damage it. If you drop the PDM or if it is otherwise subjected to severe impact:
1. Inspect the outside of the PDM for visible signs of damage.
2. Press and hold the
Home/Power
button to see whether the PDM turns on
and whether the LCD screen is damaged.
3. Inspect the inside of the battery compartment for visible signs of damage.
Caution:
Do not use the PDM if it appears damaged or is not working as it
should.
