• **Drop-proof Design:** Unique design with a metal frame fixed with screws and thickened rubber corners to prevent damage from drops up to 1.5 meters.

6.2 Cleaning and Care

• To clean the device, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• If the device has been exposed to saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and ensure all ports are dry before charging or using.
• Regularly check port covers to ensure they are sealed correctly.

6.3 Battery Care

• Avoid completely draining the battery frequently.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme heat or cold.
• If the phone will not be used for an extended period, charge it to around 50-70% before storing.

7. Troubleshooting

• **Device not powering on:** Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the charger and try again.
• **Slow performance:** Close unused apps, clear cache, or consider performing a factory reset (back up data first).
• **Network issues:** Check SIM card installation. Verify network settings. Ensure your device version is compatible with your region's network bands.
• **Water/Dust ingress:** If you suspect water or dust has entered the device, ensure all port covers are sealed. If issues persist, contact support.
• **RAM/ROM discrepancy:** The stated ROM amount is the maximum available. The Android OS and pre-installed apps will occupy some of this, resulting in less available storage than advertised. RAM expansion is a software feature that uses ROM to temporarily boost RAM.
