Caring for your mobile phone

Your Nokia device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. Proper care is about appropriate storing, cleaning, charging and usage, as well as recycling after the device lifespan has reached its end. With proper care of your mobile device and its battery, you can lengthen its lifespan, so take good care of your mobile device. Here are some useful tips on proper mobile device maintenance that will help you get the best out of your mobile companion.

Even though 'mobile', you should not use or store your device everywhere, for example in dusty, dirty areas as these can damage its moving parts and electronic components.

If you need to clean your phone or its camera lenses, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents on your mobile device!

Charge the battery properly to extend its life although eventually it will have to be replaced.

Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

Do not let your pet play with your mobile device. Sharp teeth and saliva can seriously harm the device and the battery.

Try not to drop, knock, or shake your mobile device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics and dropping can harm the battery.
