MAKING IT LAST
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a mini-
computer. Here are some hints that should help you extend the life
of your new phone.
Phones aren’t cheap, so keep yours in a safe place
— away from
children who may find it fun to see if the phone sinks or floats, and away
from dogs that find plastic-coated products to be irresistible chew toys.
Water will damage your phone and accessories
— even a small
amount such as water droplets from a soda in your car cup-holder,
melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossfire or steam from
hot water in the kitchen or bathroom.
Use only batteries and accessories from the original manufacturer
of your phone.
Non-approved accessories can cause damage to you
or your phone and shorten the phone’s life. Hint: If it’s being sold out of
someone’s car trunk, walk away.
If your charger or any other accessory is damaged, replace it or
take it to a qualified service dealer.
Do not attempt to operate your
phone charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, thrown
from a speeding motorcycle or is otherwise damaged; doing so may
damage your phone.
EmERgEnCy DIalIng
While all phones are equipped with 911 emergency calling, this
phone may or may not permit its location to be approximated
during a 911 call.*
* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless network and (b) 911
calling system that are required to be installed by the local 911 response agency or public
safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within
our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone’s
location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations,
transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your
phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions,
and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or refused. The phone’s approximate location
is transmitted to the local 911 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this
approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or
to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on
a phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please
see T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions
and details.
