13. Maintenance
Your mobile telephone was developed and manufactured with great care
and should for this reason also be treated carefully. By observing the
information outlined below, you will prevent early forfeiture of the warranty
on your unit and you will enjoy many years of pleasure in using it.
• Be sure to keep the unit dry. Precipitation, moisture and all types of
liquids and wet areas may contain minerals, which can result in electro-
nic circuits becoming corroded. If the unit gets wet, remove the battery
and let the unit dry out completely before reinserting the battery.
• Do not keep the unit in hot surroundings. High temperatures can
shorten the service life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp
certain plastics or even cause them to melt.
• Do not keep the unit in cold surroundings. When the unit then returns to
its normal temperature, moisture can build up on the inside and damage
the electronic circuitry.
• Do not attempt to open the unit in a way that is different from that
described in these instructions.
• Do not drop the unit or allow it to get hit or bumped and do not shake
it. Electronic circuitry and small mechanical parts within the unit can be
damaged from rough handling.
• Do no use any strong chemicals, cleaning solutions or strong cleansers
to clean the unit.
• Do not paint the unit. The paint can cause the movable parts to stick
together and thus interfere with proper operation.
• Do not use the charger outside.
• Make backup copies of all important information that you want to keep
(e.g. address book and calendar entries), before you drop your unit off
at a service center.
