Page 14

myPhone Artis

this does not help, use another SD card.

•

USB connection - check, if the phone is properly connected to another device. Check the USB connection in phone settings (the shortcut is available on the notification screen). If this does not help, use another USB cable.

•

Internet/Wi-Fi - check, if the telephone is in airplane mode (airplane mode prevents you from using functions of wireless networks). Check the network signal. Check if the appropriate function is turned on.

•

Bluetooth - check the Bluetooth visibility setting for your devices. Make sure that both devices are within each other's range and the Bluetooth module operation is not subject to interference (interesting information - some LCD screens absorb magnetic waves). Make sure, that devices have enough storage space available to exchange files. Check whether any of the devices is in airplane mode (airplane mode blocks the Bluetooth module).

•

Sound - make sure, that phone sound is not off and check the remaining sound settings of your phone. Check if the cable is inserted into the miniJack 3,5 mm socket. Some miniJack plugs are different from the standard plugs - try using another cable.

•

Pictures and screenshots - check if the camera lens is not obstructed. Check if the device has enough room available on the SD card. Check if the SD card is properly installed.

•

The battery level keeps dropping, despite the fact that the device is being charged - turn off all options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and decrease brightness (these options are most draining for the device), then turn on the airplane mode. These simple steps accelerate charging of the battery. We recommend you charge the device using a charger and not the USB port.

If the problem persists, contact the retailer or manufacturer.

Concerns regarding the proper use of the battery

• The battery in this device can be charged using a USB port. We do not

recommend this manner of charging during device operation, as the low voltage of the USB port may cause the battery to lose charge despite access to a power source. If you want to charge your device this way, turn the device off. If the battery level is low, charge it before use. If you want to extend the life cycle of the battery, get the charge to drop below 20%, then charge it to full.

• If you are not using the charger, disconnect it from the device. Overloads will

decrease the life cycle of the battery.

• The battery temperature affects the efficiency of the charging process. Before

charging, cool down or warm up the battery to make it match or come close to the standard room temperature. If the battery temperature exceeds 40 degrees, the battery should not be charged!

• Do not use a damaged battery!

• The life cycle of the battery may decrease if the battery is exposed to very low or

very high temperatures; this may cause disruptions in device operations, even if the battery was properly charged.

Device maintenance

In order to extend the life cycle of the device:

•

Keep the device and its accessories beyond the reach of small children.

Prevent the device from coming into contact with fluids; they may cause damage to electronic parts of the device.

•

Do not try to disassemble the device. Unprofessional interference into the device may cause damage or destroy the device.

•
