Troubleshooting
iPhone XR will not turn on or is unresponsive.
Ensure the device has sufficient charge by connecting it to power with the included charging cable for at least 30 minutes. If it remains unresponsive, perform a force restart: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
Apps are crashing frequently or the phone is running slowly.
First, try restarting your iPhone. If the issue persists, check for app updates in the App Store and iOS updates in Settings > General > Software Update. Ensure you have adequate free storage space (Settings > General > iPhone Storage). If a specific app is causing issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.
No network signal or issues with mobile data/calls.
Verify your SIM card is correctly inserted. Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) and ensure Cellular Data is turned on. Try toggling Airplane Mode on and off. If issues persist, contact your mobile network carrier to confirm your account status and network coverage.
Battery drains quickly.
Check battery usage in Settings > Battery to identify apps consuming the most power. Reduce screen brightness, disable Background App Refresh for non-essential apps (Settings > General > Background App Refresh), and limit location services (Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services). Consider turning off notifications for frequently pinging apps.

- Cleaning: Clean the screen and exterior with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Battery Health: To maintain the refurbished battery's health, avoid extreme temperatures and try to keep the charge between 20% and 80% when possible. Always use the included charging cable or certified accessories for charging.
- Software Updates: Regularly install available iOS updates to benefit from security patches and performance improvements.
