Exotic leathers

Vertu recommends that you occasionally wipe the exotic leather in the direction of the scales with a slightly
damp soft cloth, avoiding excessive pressure.

l

If your phone accidentally gets wet, it is essential that you dry it as soon as possible with a soft,
absorbent cloth.

l

Direct exposure to strong light, heat and humidity should be avoided, as well as contact with items
and substances that may stain or scratch the surfaces.

l

Vertu recommends that you store your handset in the pouch provided when not in use.

Leather

Each piece of leather used by Vertu's craftsmen is unique. The natural markings present in the hide
should be considered part of the individuality of fine leather. All leather can be damaged and should be
treated with care.

Avoid the following:

l

Exposure to water and high humidity

l

Dropping, rubbing or knocking on hard surfaces

l

Exposure to extreme temperatures

l

Contact with oily substances, make-up and solvents

Non-precious metals

Vertu metals are finished to a high standard and care needs to be taken to maintain their appearance.

Avoid the following:

l

Contact with chemicals such as solvents, alkaline and acid solutions, cola-based drinks and
exposure to salt water. Wipe with a clean, soft cloth as soon as possible if contact occurs.

l

Contact with sharp objects

l

Dropping or knocking against hard surfaces

l

Metal polishes

Precious metals

Precious metals, such as gold and platinum, have a much softer composite and extra care must be taken
when handling a Vertu product containing these materials.
