Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines for operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory
service.
•
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 dealer store or call Customer Support for service.
Note:
For the best care of your phone, only 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 re-dial.
•
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.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when stationary or before pulling into traffic.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.
•
Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your wireless phone.
•
Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
•
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
