When cleaning your mobile phone, please follow the following instructions.

• When cleaning your smartphone, unplug all cables and turn off the power.
• Wipe the smartphone's surface (display surface, back) with a soft cloth containing a small amount of disinfecting alcohol*, and wipe it with a soft cloth (such as an eyeglass cloth or smartphone cleaning cloth) to remove any alcohol residue.
• Wipe the sides of your smartphone with a dry, soft cloth (such as an eyeglass or smartphone cleaning cloth). Be careful not to get fluff or cloth inside the USB terminal or audio jack.
• Do not spray any liquid or cleaning substances directly onto your smartphone, as they can damage the equipment and peel off the paint.

Note*: We are testing with commercially available disinfectant ethanol (76.9-81.4%) and the additive isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol). Avoid using chemicals with higher concentrations or industrial chemicals.
