or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the audio connector, pay
special attention to volume levels. Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be
attracted to the device. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the

Note: You can set the phone to ask for a security code to protect your privacy and personal
data. Select Menu > > Security > Keyguard > Security code . Note, however, that you
