allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended 
periods of time. 

Avoid interference with other electronic devices 

Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or 
improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, 
medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the 
manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you 
experience. 

 

  Important usage information 

Use your phone in the normal position 

Avoid contact with your phone’s internal antenna. 

Allow only qualified personnel to service your phone 

Allowing unqualified personnel to service your phone may result in damage to your 
phone and will void your warranty. 

Ensure maximum battery and charger life 

  Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten 

battery life. 

  Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use. 

  Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use. 

  Use batteries only for their intended purpose. 

Handle SIM cards and memory cards with care 

  Do not remove a card while the phone is transferring or accessing 

information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the card or 
phone. 

  Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical noise from 

other devices. 

  Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory cards. 

  Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal 

objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth. 

Ensure access to emergency services 

Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or 
circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate 
method of contacting emergency services personnel.
