Care And Maintenance - Siemens E71 User Manual

Care and maintenance

Your phone has been designed and manu-
factured to the highest of standards and
should be treated with great care.
The suggestions below will help you to
enjoy your phone for many years.
• Protect your phone from moisture and
humidity. Precipitation, humidity and
liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits. Should your phone
become wet, disconnect it immediately
from the power supply to avoid electric
shock. Do not place your phone (even to
dry it) on/in a source of heat such as a
microwave oven, oven or radiator.
The phone may become overheated and
possibly explode.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty,
dirty areas. Its moving parts may be
damaged and the casing may become
deformed and discoloured.
• Do not store your phone in hot environ-
ments (e.g. on a vehicle's dashboard in the
summer). High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage bat-
teries and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store your phone in cold environ-
ments. When the phone warms up again
(to its normal ambient temperature),
moisture can form inside the phone,
which may damage electronic circuit
boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone.
Rough handling can damage internal
circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents or strong detergents to clean
the phone.
Care and maintenance
The suggestions given above apply equally
to your phone, battery, charger and all ac-
cessories. If any of these parts is not work-
ing properly, obtain fast and reliable help at
our service centres.
Battery quality statement
The capacity of your mobile phone battery
will reduce each time it is charged/emptied.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will
also result in a gradual capacity loss. As
a result the operating time of your mobile
phone may be considerably reduced, even
after a full recharge of the battery.
Regardless of this, the battery has been de-
signed and manufactured so that it can be
recharged and used for six months after
the purchase of you mobile phone. After six
months, if the battery is clearly suffering
from loss of performance, we recommend
that you replace it. Please buy only original
batteries.
Display quality declaration
For technological reasons, a few small dots
with different colours may appear in the
display in exceptional cases.
Just remember that the appearance of
brighter or darker dots generally does
not mean that a fault has occurred.
