    <description>&lt;DIV style="max-width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 24px 28px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1f2937; line-height: 1.5;"&gt;
&lt;H1 style="margin: 0 0 4px; text-align: center; color: #003b71; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.2; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Locate the Manufacture Date of your&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;H1 style="margin: 0 0 18px; text-align: center; color: #003b71; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.2; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Polycom Device&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 8px;"&gt;Poly VVX phones contain a device security certificate that is &lt;STRONG&gt;valid for 15 years&lt;/STRONG&gt; from the manufacture date. Once that certificate expires, the phone will no longer be able to securely connect to our service.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 18px;"&gt;Checking the manufacture date helps identify devices that may be approaching this limit.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 18px;"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Important&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; - We recommend replacing the device as soon as the manufacturer publishes an End of Support date.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="background: #eaf5fc; border: 1px solid #0072ce; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 17px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG style="color: #003b71;"&gt; The manufacture date is the 8-digit number in YYYYMMDD format next to the barcode. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;!-- STEP 1 --&gt;
&lt;DIV style="margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;
&lt;DIV style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 14px;"&gt;
&lt;DIV style="width: 38px; height: 38px; min-width: 38px; border-radius: 50%; background: #0072ce; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; font-size: 19px; text-align: center; line-height: 38px;"&gt;1&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="color: #003b71; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 3px;"&gt;Locate the Manufacturer Label&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px;"&gt;Turn the phone over to locate the smaller white label on the bottom or back of the phone. This label will also include the MAC address of the phone.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;!-- STEP 2 --&gt;
&lt;DIV style="margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="color: #003b71; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 3px;"&gt;Locate the Manufacturer Date&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px;"&gt;The 8-digit number is the manufacture date in &lt;STRONG&gt;YYYYMMDD&lt;/STRONG&gt; format.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Example:&lt;/STRONG&gt; 20160505 (05/05/2016)&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;!-- STEP 3 --&gt;
&lt;DIV style="margin-bottom: 24px;"&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="color: #003b71; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 3px;"&gt;Calculate the Expiration Date&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 4px;"&gt;Add 15 to the manufacture year to identify when that factory certificate expires.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV style="font-size: 17px;"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Example:&lt;/STRONG&gt; 20160505 (05/05/2016) + 15 years = May 5th, 2031&lt;/DIV&gt;
