MAKING IT LAST
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a
mini- computer. Here are some hints that should help you
extend the life of your new phone.
Phones aren't cheap, so keep yours in a safe place —
away from children who may find it fun to see if the phone
sinks or floats, and away from dogs that find plastic-coated
products to be irresistible chew toys.
Water will damage your phone and accessories — even
a small amount such as water droplets from a soda in your
car cup-holder, melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun
crossfire or steam from hot water in the kitchen or bathroom.
Use only batteries and accessories from the original
manufacturer of your phone. Non-approved accessories can
cause damage to you or your phone and shorten the phone's
life. Hint: If it's being sold out of someone's car trunk, walk
away.
If your charger or any other accessory is damaged,
replace it or take it to a qualified service dealer. Do not at-
tempt to operate your phone charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, thrown from a speeding motorcycle or is
otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your phone.

Check with your doctor if you have a pacemaker or hearing
aid in order to ensure that cell phone usage is safe with your
device. If you have questions about the interaction of cellular
radio frequency and any other electronic equipment, ask the
manufacturer of the equipment if cell phone radio frequencies
will disrupt the equipment's performance.
When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you to use
your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Here are
a few tips:
Assess road conditions before answering.
n
Your safety is more important than any call.
Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one,
n
or turn on your speakerphone option before you
start moving.
Keep your phone closed. If it rings and you discover
n
it's in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat
to answer it while driving.
Program frequently used numbers into your
n
speed dial for easy one-touch dialing.
Remember that laws prohibiting or restricting the use
n
of a mobile phone while driving may apply in your
area.
