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 nd it fun to see if the phone sinks or 
oats, and away from dogs that nd 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 snowakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun 
crossre 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 qualied 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.
