Ensure the device is updated to the latest firmware by connecting to Wi-Fi via the settings menu for optimal compatibility. To maintain the device, store it in a protective carrying case to prevent screen scratches. Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning the screen; avoid chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte finish of the grips.
