Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of
children’s reach.
■
Your phone is not water resistant. Keep it dry. Precipitation,
humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
■ Do not use your phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts
can be damaged.
■ Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Note that a
new battery’s full performance may only be achieved after two

fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
■
Do not paint your phone as this can clog its moving parts and
prevent operation.

antenna. Unauthorised antennae, modifications or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
regulations governing use of mobile phones.

or pen causes direct connection between the + and -
terminals of the battery). Therefore, always take adequate
