Care and Maintenance
38
• Do not try to make a call or have a conversation
while the temperature of the charging battery is
above 122°F (50°C).
• Take care not to put your handset in the back pocket
of your trousers or skirt and then sit on it. Also, do
not put your phone at the bottom of a bag where
it may be subject to excessive weight or pressure.
Doing so may damage the LCD and camera lens and
cause them to malfunction.
• The operation of some medical electronic devices,
such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may
be affected if a handset is used next to them.
Observe any caution signs and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Do not leave the handset discharged or without a
battery for a long time, otherwise some data may be
erased.
• Your phone contains metal, which may induce an
itch, a rash, or eczema, depending on your physical
condition.
