GENERAL PRODUCT CARE
To keep your phone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid putting it near heating appliances and devices that generate electrical noise (for
example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
• DO NOT expose it to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping the phone and/or other rough treatment.
• Clean with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because
this will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship it at a
later date.
