CARING FOR YOUR PHONE
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.
Store your phone in a protective case.
The touch screen of your phone is delicate
and should be protected from scratches.
Phones aren't cheap, so keep yours in a
safe place—away from children who may
find it fun 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 such as
water droplets from a soda in your car
cup-holder, melting snowflakes, tears of joy,
squirt-gun crossfire 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
qualified 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.
