Safety Tips
Consider device compatibility
If you have a pacemaker or hearing aid, check
with your doctor to make sure it is safe for
you to use a device. In some cases, cellular
radio frequencies can disrupt the performance
of other electronic equipment. If you have
questions about the interaction between your
device and any other piece of electronic
equipment, ask the equipment manufacturer.
Drive safely
When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages
you to use your device in a safe and sensible
manner. Here are a few tips:
• Assess road conditions before answering
your device. Your safety is more important
than any call.
• Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have
one, or turn on your speakerphone, before
you start moving.

17
• Keep your device close. If it rings and you
discover it’s in the back seat, do NOT crawl
over the seat to answer it while driving.
• Pre-program frequently used numbers into
your device for easy, one-touch dialing.
• Remember that laws prohibiting or
restricting the use of a device while driving
may apply in your area.
Information about
Safeguarding Handsets
T-Mobile encourages customers to take
appropriate measures to secure their handsets
and invites them to take advantage of the
features available on this handset to help
secure it from theft and/or other unauthorized
access and use. This handset has a locking
function (e.g., user-defined codes or patterns)
that can serve as a first line of defense against
unauthorized use or access to stored
information. Preloaded security applications
that allow customers to track or locate
misplaced devices can be found on several
T-Mobile devices. Lost or stolen devices should
be immediately reported to T-Mobile so that
proper measures can be taken to protect
accounts.

Caring for Your Device
Your device is a complex electronic device;
think of it as a mini-computer. Here are some
tips to help you extend the life of your new
device:
Do not get your device wet.
Water will
damage your device and accessories. Even a
small amount of moisture can cause damage.
Protect your device’s touch screen.
Your
device’s touch screen is delicate. Guard against
scratches by using a screen protector or by
keeping it in a protective case.
Use the original manufacturer’s batteries and
accessories.
Non-approved batteries and
accessories can harm you and damage your
device.
Do not use damaged accessories.
Do not
attempt to charge your device if the charger
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or is
otherwise damaged; doing so may damage
your device. If your charger or any other
accessory is damaged, replace it or take it to a
qualified service dealer.
