General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
• To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of your phone where the
internal antenna is located while using the phone.
• 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.
• Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on
the dashboard of a car).
• Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
• Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document
could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this
equipment.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only PCS-authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all

Check with your local service provider for details.
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.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a
given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
