Care and maintenance
C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
Your Vertu products have been crafted from some
of the finest materials and care should be taken to
keep them in good condition.
C E R A M I C S A N D S A P P H I R E
Ceramics and sapphire are very hard materials but
are also brittle and can be scratched by harder
materials or objects. Furthermore, they can be
damaged if dropped.
Avoid the following:
>
Contact with other hard objects and
materials such as diamond jewellery
(particularly rings and earrings), nail files,
sand paper, abrasives, quartz crystals, metal
oxides, nitrides and carbides.
>
Dropping or knocking the product on
hard surfaces.
>
Repeated rubbing against hard surfaces.
L E AT H E R
All Vertu leather products are made by expert
craftsmen. Each leather hide is unique and has its
own natural characteristics which should be
considered part of the individuality of fine leather
and not as imperfections or flaws. All leather can
be damaged and should be treated with care.
Avoid the following:
>
Prolonged exposure to water and
high humidity.
>
Dropping, rubbing or knocking on
hard surfaces.
>
Exposure to extreme temperatures.
>
Contact with oily substances, make-up and
solvents.
M E T A L
Vertu metals are finished to a high standard and
care needs to be taken to maintain their
appearance. Vertu precious metals have a high
tarnish resistance but will need polishing to remove
fingerprints. Protect in soft cases where possible
and polish only with a Vertu recommended
polishing cloth.
Avoid the following:
>
Contact with chemicals such as solvents,
alkaline and acid solutions, cola-based drinks
and prolonged exposure to salt water. Wipe
with a clean, soft cloth as soon as possible if
contact occurs.
>
Contact with sharp objects.
>
Dropping or knocking against hard surfaces.
T H E M I C R O F I B R E P O L I S H I N G C L O T H
The microfibre polishing cloth is hand washable
and is provided for polishing the surfaces and
removing fingerprints. The surface MUST be free
from dust before polishing as dust particles may
damage metal surfaces when polished.

>
Keep your Vertu phone dry. Precipitation,
humidity and all types of liquids or moisture
can contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits. If your device does get
wet, remove the battery and allow the device
to dry completely before replacing it.
>
Do not use or store your Vertu phone in
dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
>
Do not store your Vertu phone in hot areas.
High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic components, damage batteries
and warp or melt certain plastics.
>
Do not store your Vertu phone in cold areas.
When your Vertu phone returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside and
damage the electronics.
>
Do not attempt to open your Vertu phone
other than as instructed in this guide.
>
Do not drop, knock, or shake your Vertu
phone. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
Damage caused to your Vertu phone by failing
to observe these care instructions is not
covered by the warranty.
Jewellery cleaner must not be used as this
may affect the mechanics of the product
and invalidate the warranty.
