Care and maintenance
Your Vertu products have been crafted from some of the finest materials
and care should be taken to keep them in good condition. Damage caused
to your Vertu phone by failing to observe these care instructions is not
covered by the warranty.
General
• Always use your Vertu phone in the intended manner. Incorrect usage
may affect performance.
• To avoid permanent damage to your Vertu phone, use only Vertu
approved batteries and accessories.
• The bundled battery and wall charger are only for use with your Vertu
phone. Do not use this battery or charger with any other device. This
could cause permanent damage to the device, battery or charger.
• Use only batteries and accessories approved by Vertu for use with this
particular model.
• Before connecting your Vertu phone to another device, read the
supporting documentation to confirm that the other device is
compatible.
• Keep your Vertu phone, and all parts and accessories, out of the reach
of small children and pets.
• Do not allow your Vertu phone, battery or accessories to come into
contact with liquids or moisture. If your Vertu handset accidentally gets
wet, dry it completely with a soft, absorbent cloth before removing the
back cover. Remove the battery and leave all parts to dry naturally. Do
not apply heat.
• Do not use or store your Vertu phone in dusty or dirty locations.
• Do not use or store your Vertu phone in hot or cold areas.

• Interference may affect the performance of your Vertu phone. This is
normal and the phone should operate as normal once you move away
from the source of the interference.
• If your Vertu phone, or any of the accessories, are not working as they
should, please consult your dealer. They can provide you with the
expert assistance you require.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your Vertu phone. Only Vertu authorised
personnel should service the phone.

chemicals, detergents, abrasive substances, or any liquids. Use a
cotton swab to clean the camera lens.
Battery
• Do not leave the battery connected to the charger and power source for
longer than necessary. This will result in repeated short charging, which
will reduce battery performance and lifespan. Please disconnect the
charger when the battery is full.
• Do not leave the battery in areas of extreme cold or heat. This could
affect the performance and lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or
cold battery may not work temporarily. The battery has optimum
performance in an ambient temperature of between +15 °C (+59 °F)
and +25 °C (+77 °F)
• Only remove the battery with the phone switched off.
Ceramics and sapphire
Ceramics and sapphire are very hard materials, but are also brittle and can
be scratched by harder materials or objects. They can also be damaged if
dropped.
• Avoid contact between your Vertu phone and hard materials such as
diamond jewellery, nail files, abrasives, and mineral crystals.
• Do not drop or knock your Vertu phone on hard surfaces.
• Avoid repeated rubbing of your Vertu phone against hard surfaces.

Leather
All Vertu leather products are made by expert craftsmen. Each leather hide
is unique and has natural markings which should be considered part of the
individuality of fine leather. All leather can be damaged and should be
treated with care.

• Avoid dropping, knocking or rubbing your Vertu phone on hard
surfaces.

Metal
Vertu metals are finished to a high standard and care needs to be taken to

solvents, alkaline and acid solutions, cola-based drinks and salt water.
If contact occurs, wipe with a clean, soft cloth as soon as possible.
• Avoid contact between your Vertu phone and sharp objects.

PVC, polyester and denim) as the colour may transfer to the rubber.

some instances, be removed by gently rubbing with a soft, light coloured
damp cloth.
