Rugged
Your phone is designed to be tough and durable, helping
to protect it from life’s extremes. So whether your life
gets cold and wet, warm and humid, or dry and dusty,
your phone can handle it.
Of course, your phone isn’t indestructible, so remember:
•Always make sure that the battery and connector
covers are closed and secure.
•Avoid prolonged or extreme exposure to rugged
conditions.
And finally, the details. Your phone will resist damage
from exposure to these rugged conditions: high/low
temperatures, water, blowing rain, humidity, salt fog,
dust, shock, vibration, and low pressure (high altitude).

Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose
your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
•To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from
affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted
sites, like Play Store .
•In the Google Play™ Store, check the apps’ ratings
and comments before installing.
•If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
•Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,
data, battery, and processing power—some more
than others. For example, a simple battery level
widget will use less than a streaming music player
app. After installing an app, if you're not happy with
how much memory, data, battery or processing
power it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it
again later.

15Home screen & apps
•Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor
children’s access to apps to help prevent exposure to
inappropriate content.
•Certain apps may not provide completely accurate
information. Take care, especially when it comes to
personal health.

Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage
