Making it last
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a
mini-computer. Here are some hints that will help you extend
the life of your new phone.
Phones aren’t cheap, so keep yours in a safe place.
Keep
the phone away from children who want 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 of water from a soda in your car cup-holder,
melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossfire, or steam
from the kitchen or bathroom can damage your phone.
Use only batteries and accessories from the original
manufacturer of your phone.
Non-approved accessories can
damage 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 at-
tempt 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 every-
where 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 emer-
gency 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 communica-
tions (such as a medical or other emergency). Please see T-Mobile’s Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and details.
