Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you protect your warranty
coverage.
•
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all
types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get
wet, remove the battery, and allow the device to dry
completely before replacing it.
•
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts and electronic components can be
damaged.
•
Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

•
Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device
returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form
inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
•
Do not attempt to open the device other than as
instructed in this guide.
•
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling
can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the device.
•
Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts
and prevent proper operation.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the device and may violate
regulations governing radio devices.
•
Use chargers indoors.
•
Always create a backup of data you want to keep (such
as contacts and calendar notes) before sending your
device to a service facility.
