Product Care

Here are some general care tips for keeping your phone in good condition for long time.

• Keep your phone dry. All types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals capable of corroding 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 phone in dusty, dirty areas. Particles of dust can damage moving parts and electronic components.
• Do not store your phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic components, damage batteries and deform or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store your phone in cold areas. When the phone returns to its normal temperature, condensation can form inside and damage the electronics.
• Do not attempt to open your phone other than as instructed in the user guide.
• Do not drop, knock or shake your phone; rough handling can break internal electronics and fine mechanics, as well as damage the exterior of your phone. We recommend that you store your handset in a compatible case when not in use.

My connections are torn down.
Dropped calls or low sound quality during calls can result from low signal strength or momentary gaps in network coverage, either at your end or the other end of the connection. In most cases, your operator or service provider is the best source of assistance with issues regarding signal strength.

• Signal strength is indicated by the signal indicators at the left side of the phone’s display. These indicators move up as the strength of the signal increases and down as the signal decreases
• To increase your phone’s signal strength, try moving your phone slightly, or move towards a window if you’re calling from inside a building
• If you continuously experience low signal strength in a certain area, it may be that network coverage is insufficient there. Your operator or service provider can provide you with more information on network coverage
• If you believe that the problem may be with your phone instead of the network, please contact one of our nearest specialist Service Centres, who will arrange inspection.

SIM-Cards and security

My phone is requesting a PIN | PIN2 | PUK | PUK2 code.
Your phone is equipped with one or more codes to protect it against unauthorised use. The PIN and PUK codes actually protect the SIM card, a small card inside your phone that establishes the network connection. In most cases, your operator or service provider is the best source of assistance with PIN and PUK codes.

• The most common code is the PIN (Personal Identification Number) code, which you set yourself and can activate and deactivate by following the instructions in your user guide
• The PIN2 code is a PIN code which acts as a second layer of protection for certain features of your phone. It functions in the same way as the PIN code, and more information is available in your user guide
• If the PIN code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your phone may request a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code. The PUK code is an 8-digit code provided by your operator or service provider
• If the PIN2 code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your phone may request a PUK2 code
• Please contact your operator or service provider for assistance with your PIN and/or PUK codes. If you have already contacted your service provider and the code provided did not work, you will have to obtain a new SIM card from your operator or service provider.

My phone is requesting a security code.
Your phone is equipped with one or more codes to protect it against unauthorised use. Please note that the security code, which protects the phone itself, differs from the PIN code, which protects the SIM card.  If your phone is prompting you for a security code and you have not activated one, please try the following:

• Enter the default security code: 12345. Only try this once
• If your phone still requests a security code, please contact your nearest authorised Vertu dealer who will arrange for it to be returned to one of our specialist Service Centreswho will arrange inspection.

My phone displays “SIM card rejected” or “SIM card unaccepted”.
The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small card inside your phone that establishes a network connection. The SIM card is provided by your operator or service provider. In most cases, they are the best source of assistance with SIM card problems. Your phone may display a SIM card error message if:

• The SIM card is out of alignment.
• If the phone has recently been dropped, bumped, or opened, the SIM card may need adjusting. Follow the SIM card installation instructions in your user guide.
• The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is entered incorrectly multiple times. This can deactivate the SIM card. If deactivation appears to be permanent, contact your operator or service provider for a new SIM card.
• You have recently changed service providers. In this case, either your SIM card or your phone may be configured for your previous operator and may require reconfiguring. Please order these connection settings from our website.
• If none of the situations above apply and you continue to receive this error message, your SIM card may be damaged. Please contact your operator or service provider to have the SIM card tested and/or replaced. Alternatively, please contact one of our nearest specialist Service Centres,  for inspection.
