Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and liquids contain minerals
that will corrode electronic circuits. If
the mobile device does get wet, do not
accelerate drying with the use of an oven,
microwave, or dryer, because this may
damage the mobile device and could cause
a fire or explosion.
30 Important Health and Safety Information

hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock
to you or damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
Avoid temperatures below 0°C / 32°F or

retractable camera lens, do not use soap
and water to clean the lens. Use a blower or
brush or lens cleaning paper dampened in
a lens cleaning solution.

device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards.

Important Health and Safety Information
Responsible Listening
Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is
exposed to loud sounds over time. The risk
of hearing loss increases as sound is played
louder and for longer durations. Prolonged
exposure to loud sounds (including music)
is the most common cause of preventable
hearing loss. Some scientific research
suggests that using portable audio devices,
such as portable music players and cell
phones, at high volume settings for long
durations may lead to permanent noise-
induced hearing loss.
This includes the use of headphones
(including headsets, earbuds, and
Bluetooth® or other wireless devices).
Exposure to very loud sound has also been
associated in some studies with tinnitus
(a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to
sound, and distorted hearing. Individual
