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 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.

Check with your doctor if you have a pacemaker or hearing aid in order
to ensure that cell phone usage is safe with your device. If you have
questions about the interaction of cellular radio frequency and any
other electronic equipment, ask the manufacturer of the equipment if
cell phone radio frequencies will disrupt the equipment's performance.
When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you to use
your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Here are
a few tips:
Assess road conditions before answering.

Your safety is more important than any call.
Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one,
n
or turn on your speakerphone option before you
start moving.

it's in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat
to answer it while driving.
Program frequently used numbers into your
n
speed dial for easy one-touch dialing.
