Using unauthorised or modified aerials may damage the mobile phone.
Others • As with any electronic storage unit, data may be lost or corrupted under various circumstances. • Before connecting the phone with a PC or a peripheral unit, read the operation manual for the other unit carefully. • If the phone’s battery has been removed for some time, or the phone has been reset, the unit’s clock and calendar may be reinitialised.
