16. Care and maintenance
Your Nokia 9000 Communicator is a product of 
superior design and craftsmanship and should be 
treated with care. The suggestions below will 
help you to fulfil any warranty obligations and to 
enjoy this product for many years.
Keep the communicator and all its parts and ac-
cessories out of small children’s reach.
Keep the communicator dry. Precipitation, hu-
midity and liquids contain minerals that will cor-
rode electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the communicator in dusty, 
dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged.
Do not store the communicator in hot areas. 
High temperatures can shorten the life of elec-
tronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or 
melt certain plastics.
Do not store the communicator in cold areas. 
When the communicator warms up (to its normal 
temperature), moisture can form inside the com-
municator, which may damage electronic circuit 
boards.
Do not attempt to open the communicator. Non-
expert handling of the communicator may dam-
age it.
Do not drop, knock or shake the communicator. 
Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or 
strong detergents to clean the communicator. 
Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a 
mild soap-and-water solution. 
If the communicator or any of its accessories are 
not working properly, take them to your nearest 
qualified service facility. The personnel there will 
assist you, and if necessary, arrange for service.
