Maintaining Your Phone's Peak Performance There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. ᮣ Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your shoulder. ᮣ Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone's antenna. ᮣ Don't use the phone if the antenna is damaged. ᮣ Speak directly into the mouthpiece. ᮣ 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's inoperable, return it to a Sprint Store or call PCS Customer SolutionsSM for service. Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty. Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE Using Your Phone While Driving Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. When using your phone in the car: ᮣ Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial and redial. ᮣ When available, use a hands-free device. ᮣ Position your phone within easy reach. ᮣ Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
