Other important safety information

• Only qualified personnel should service the 

phone or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty 
installation or service may be dangerous and 
may invalidate any warranty applicable to the 
device.

• Check regularly that all wireless phone 

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and 
operating properly.

• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases 

or explosive materials in the same compartment 
as the phone, its parts or accessories.

• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, 

remember that an air bag inflates with great 
force. Do not place objects, including both 
installed or portable wireless equipment in the 
area over the air bag or in the air bag 
deployment area. If wireless equipment is 
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, 
serious injury could result.

• Switch your phone off before boarding an 

aircraft. The use of wireless phones in aircraft 
may be dangerous to the operation of the 
aircraft, and is illegal.

• Failure to observe these instructions may lead 

to the suspension or denial of telephone 
services to the offender, or legal action, or both.

Care and maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and 
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. 
The suggestions below will help you fulfill any 
warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this 
product for many years. 
• Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories 

out of the reach of small children’s.

• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and 

liquids contain minerals that will corrode 
electronic circuits.

• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so 

may cause an electric shock to you or damage 
to the phone. 

• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty 

areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.

• Do not store the phone in hot areas. High 

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic 
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt 
certain plastics.

• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the 

phone warms up to its normal operating 
temperature, moisture can form inside the 
phone, which may damage the phone’s 
electronic circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough 

handling can break internal circuit boards.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents 

or strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it 
with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild 
soap-and-water solution.

• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the 

device’s moving parts and prevent proper 
operation.
