Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone
bill.
Caring for the Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.

humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
• Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
• Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
• The battery may need recharging if it has not been used
for a long period of time.
• It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds
of times before it needs replacing.

periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
