Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty. There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. • To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled during a call. For more information, refer to "Turning Bluetooth On or Off" on page 54. • If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended and over your shoulder. • Do not hold, bend or twist the phone's antenna, if applicable. • Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. • If your phone is equipped with an internal antenna, obstructing the internal antenna could inhibit call performance. • Speak directly into the phone's receiver. • Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.

If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a service center for inspection. • Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way. • Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could result in serious safety hazards. • If you use the phone near the network's base station, it uses less power; talk and standby time are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator. • Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the user's guide. • Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used.
