General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and Speak directly into the mouthpiece. ⅷ 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. ⅷ Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it. ⅷ Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment. ⅷ Poor reception may be caused by inadvertently covering the internal antenna located inside the phone. If poor reception is being experienced, try to re-position your hand or use an optional listening device. Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty. 244 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
