Care and maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should 
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill 
any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many 
years. When using your phone, battery, charger, OR any accessory:
• Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s 
reach.
• Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals 
that will corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts can 
be damaged.
• Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the 
life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt 
certain plastics.
• Do not store it 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 attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device 
may damage it.
• Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break 
internal circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong 
detergents to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly 
dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution.
• Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and 
prevent proper operation.
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. 
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could 
damage the phone and may 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. 
The personnel there will assist you, and if necessary, arrange for 
service.
