Safety & Warranty
Note:
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft
systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent
any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in
other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often
use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children's Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and
others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
Caring for Your Phone Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery's performance.
Use only Sprint-approved chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using
other chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from
32º F to113º F. (0º C to 45º C).
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

Never dispose of the phone by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on the bottom of your phone clean.
Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
Don't store the phone in extreme temperature areas for long periods of time. Store the phone in
environments that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).
Disposal of Phone
For safe disposal options of your phone, contact your nearest Sprint authorized service center.
Special Note:
Be sure to dispose of your phone properly. In some areas disposal in household or
