Safety Information Phone care You should never attempt to open the phone casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside and you might damage sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty. You should never leave your phone in the window of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it. You should never handle your phone with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind.
• Use only the battery approved by the manufacturer. • Never replace the battery with a non-approved battery. • Never soak the battery in water or any other fluid. • Never try to open the battery as it contains substances that might be harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact with unprotected skin. • Never short-circuit the battery, as it may overheat and cause a fire. Keep it away from jewellery and other metal objects. • Never dispose of the battery in a fire.
Cleaning and storing • Your device should always be handled with care and protected from dirt, dust and dampness. To avoid scratches, never place your phone face down. • If cleaning is necessary, switch off the device and wipe carefully with a soft, slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Use a cotton swab to clean the camera lens. Allow the phone to dry completely before switching it on. Never use solvents for cleaning.
Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your device. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment added to your vehicle. Posted facilities Turn off your device where posted notices so require. Magnetic media Magnetic fields generated by Pocket PC Phone phones may damage data on magnetic storage media, such as credit cards, computer discs or tapes.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive environment are often, but not always, clearly marked.
