connect any voltage source to the audio connector. If you connect an external device 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 device, because info stored on them may be
erased.
Some of the accessories mentioned in this user guide, such as charger, headset, or data cable, may
be sold separately.
Note: You can set the phone to ask for a security code. The pre-set code is 12345. Change it to
protect your privacy and personal data. Note, however, that when you change the code, you
need to remember the new code, as Microsoft Mobile is not able to open or bypass it.
