5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FOSSIBOT F115 Ultra, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the phone with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Ensure all ports are closed before cleaning with liquids.
• Water and Dust Resistance: The phone is IP68/IP69K rated. Ensure all port covers and the SIM tray cover are securely closed to maintain water and dust resistance. Do not intentionally submerge the phone in water beyond its rated depth or duration.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the phone to extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and internal components.
• Impact Protection: While rugged, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts. The MIL-STD-810H certification provides protection against typical drops, but extreme force can still cause damage.
• Software Updates: Keep your device's software updated to ensure the latest security patches and performance improvements.

• Battery Draining Quickly: Reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary features like GPS, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not in use. Check battery usage in settings to identify power-hungry apps.
