Care and Maintenance
Your P31 is a delicate electronic device and shall be used and han-
dled carefully in compliance with the instructions below. Failure
to observe these instructions may cause your product warranty to
void.
• Do not use your P31 in dusty and humid areas. It is extremely
vulnerable to liquid, and sand grains can cause scratches on the
surface of your P31.
• Do not store your P31 in extremely hot or cold areas. Heat can

an extremely cold area, moisture can build from inside of P31
after you turn it on and result in damages.
• Do not drop, shake or knock on your phone.
• Do not use strong detergents, thinners or other corrosive liquid
to clean your P31. Instead, use the supplied cloth to clean it. If
necessary, use mild detergents.
• Keep your P31, batteries and accessories away from reach of
small children.
• Use only supplied or BenQ original or approved accessories
with your P31.
• Follow your local regulations concerning the safety of mobile
phone usage.
• The battery should be used and charged under normal room
temperature. If the battery is charged in environments where
the temperature is higher than 45 (113 ) or lower than
0 (32 ), charging will be stopped automatically and will
not continue unless the temperature returns to the normal
range.
• Do not store the battery in locations where the temperature is
below -10 (14 ) or above 45 (113 ).
• Do not leave the P31 in a car or any vehicle.
