Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Device
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen and body of your phone. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the screen or finish. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen cleaner designed for electronics.
