Water and Dust Resistance (IP68)

The Brondi Stallion is IP68 certified, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. To maintain this protection:

• Ensure all port covers (charging port, earphone jack) are securely closed before exposing the phone to water or dust.
• Do not intentionally submerge the phone in water beyond the specified depth or duration.
• If the phone gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth before charging or opening any ports.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the phone's exterior. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the device's surface or compromise its water resistance.

Battery Care

• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures.
• Use only the original charger provided with the device.
• If the phone will not be used for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% before storing it.

Port Covers

The protective rubber covers for the charging port and earphone jack are crucial for maintaining the phone's IP68 rating. Handle them with care, as they can be fragile. Ensure they are always properly sealed when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Phone not turning on: Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged. Connect the charger and try again.
• No network signal: Check if the SIM card is properly inserted. Verify that you are in an area with network coverage. Restart the phone.
• Cannot make/receive calls: Check your SIM card balance or subscription status. Ensure the phone is not in airplane mode.
• Sound issues: Check the volume settings. Ensure earphones are properly connected if in use. Clean the speaker grille if it appears blocked.

ILIAD SIM Card Specific Setup

If you are using an ILIAD SIM card and experience connectivity issues, particularly if the phone does not connect to the network automatically, follow these steps:

1. Insert the ILIAD SIM card into a 4G-compatible smartphone.
2. In the smartphone's network settings, manually select the network type to 3G or GSM.
3. Perform a manual network search and select ILIAD from the available networks.
