KEEP YOUR MOBILE:
Charged: Ensure your battery is fully charged, and then completely run it
down before recharging. Recharging too early causes your battery to run out of
power more quickly.
Secure: For security reasons, enable the PIN on your SIM Card and
Phone-lock on your phone to avoid unauthorized used. These security checks will
also be activated when the phone is power cycled. You can check with your
carrier or the phone manual for the features and also for
information on blocking your SIM card and phone IMEI number if the phone is
stolen. For more information please see the Security Tips located on the AMTA Lost
and Stolen website.
Protected: Make sure you use a keypad lock to lock your phone. Unplanned
calls can cost a fortune and even though your phone may be in a safe place, such
as in a bag, your phone will still get knocked around to a surprising
degree. Rough treatment can damage electronic circuit boards so avoid dropping
or unnecessarily shaking your phone.
Battery: Be safe with your batteries. Use only genuine batteries from
your phone manufacturer and only buy from authorized dealers. Going for the
cheap option of a counterfeit battery can be dangerous.
Clean: Don't use harsh detergents, cleaning solvents or harsh chemicals
to clean your phone. Wipe only with a soft cloth.
Covered: a protective cover will help repel dust and dirt, and prevent
scratches. Make sure the cover you choose is of good quality. Low quality covers
with no air pockets can damage you phone by creating humidity inside the cover.
Storing your phone: Always store your phone in a dry place. Avoid rain,
high humidity and liquids. All of these may contain minerals that could corrode
the electronic circuits.
At the right temperature: To ensure a long life, keep your phone in a
stable temperature. Avoid exposing your phone to liquid and/or exposing your
phone to extreme temperature change from hot to cold and vice versa. This might
create condensation and damage the phone.
