Chapter 8 Maintaining your phone
8.1 Maintaining your phone
Your phone is a well-designed and engineered product and the following tips and
suggestions will enable you to obtain the best use of your phone for many years.
• Keep the phone is a dry environment. If the phone or battery were to get wet due to
misuse, this can invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Do not use the phone with wet hands to avoid any shocks and risk of water entering
into the device, thereby increasing the risk of damage to internal circuits. This applies
also if you have to replace the SIM or mini SD card inside the phone for whatever
reason.
• Keep the phone and its accessories out of reach of young children and pets. They
may accidentally damage the phone or risk swallowing the smaller components.
• Avoid storing the phone in hot environments as high temperatures can shorten the
life of electronic components. There is the risk that the plastic casings can warp or
melt if the temperature is high enough.
• Also, please avoid storing the phone in cold environments. When the phone is
switched on and warms up to its normal operating temperature, moisture can form
inside the device which may damage the circuit boards internally.
• Avoid dropping or any hard knocks to the phone as these shocks can damage the
internal circuit boards.
• If you need to clean the phone, wipe it with a soft clean cloth – avoid use of cleaning
solvents or detergents. DO NOT use water to clean the LCD screen.
• Do not attempt to respray or paint the phone.
• Do not keep the phone in or near heat sources such as a radiator or microwave oven
– this can cause the battery inside the phone to overheat and explode.
• Ensure that the volume is turned down if you are using headphones.
• If the phone has a flash unit, do not operate the flash too close to the subjects’ eyes
as this may cause damage to their eyes.
• If the phone does not work carry out some basic troubleshooting checks according
to the manual. If the problem still persists, please do not attempt to service or repair
the device yourself as this may invalidate the terms of the warranty with the device.
The repair should be carried out by an authorized service repairer.
8.2 Restarting your device
You may want to restart your phone, for example, when a program is not performing
properly or the phone does not respond to any key presses.
