Health and safety information
• 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.
• 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.
