12. 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 immediately, 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 a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the touch screen and any
lenses, such as camera, proximity sensor, and light sensor
lenses.
• 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.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery,
charger, or any enhancement. If any device is not working
properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility for
service.
