Health and safety information

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.

Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as 

a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone 

may explode when overheated.

When the phone or battery gets wet, the label 

indicating water damage inside the phone changes 

color. In this case, phone repairs are no longer 

guaranteed by the manufacturer's warranty, even if 

the warranty for your phone has not expired.

If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too 

close to the eyes of people or animals. This may cause 

damage to their eyes.

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement 

antenna. Unauthorized antennas or modified 

accessories may damage the phone and violate 

regulations governing radio devices.

If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not 

working properly, take it to your nearest qualified 

service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and 

if necessary, arrange for service.
