Waterproof and dustproof features

(Read before using the unit)
The supplied accessories are neither waterproof nor dustproof.

Waterproof and dustproof performance of the unit
The unit, with the cap fastened securely, has a waterproof specification of IPX7 as specified in “Degree of protection against water immersion” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)”, and a dustproof specification of IP6X as specified in “Degrees of protection against solid foreign objects”.

• The supplied accessories and the connectors of this unit (USB) are neither water-resistant nor dustproof. To reduce the risk of fires or electric shocks, do not expose the unit to water or droplets while using any connectors (USB).

Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust intrusion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.

To avoid the deterioration of waterproof and dustproof performance
Carefully note the precautions below to ensure proper use of the unit.

• The unit passes the drop test from 1.22 m on plywood of 5 cm thickness conforming to MIL-STD810H Method 516.8-Shock. However, this does not guarantee any damage, no breakdown, or waterproof and dustproof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from dropping the unit or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the waterproof and dustproof performance.
• This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the unit in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the unit directly. Also never use the unit in a place subject to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or near a heat source.

CAUTION:
Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant and dustproof performance. When using the unit, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not closed completely the water resistant and dustproof performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the unit as a result of water or dust particles entering the unit.

How to care for the unit

Although the fabric part of the unit has water-repellent treatment applied, you can use the unit more comfortably and for a longer period of time by following the maintenance procedure below.

• If the surface of the unit gets dirty in the following cases, wash the unit with fresh water (tap water, etc.) promptly to remove the dirt. Leaving dirt on its surface may cause the surface to discolor or deteriorate, or the unit to malfunction. Ex.
  • When the unit has sand, salt (chlorine), or other residue on it after having been used in a mountain area, by a swimming pool, etc.
  • When the unit is stained with foreign substances (sunscreen, suntan oil, etc.)
• Wipe off the moisture on its surface, and put the unit on a dry soft cloth to drain the collected water inside the unit. Then, dry the unit in an airy place until no moisture remains.
• The sound quality may change when water enters the speaker or passive radiator section of the unit.

It is not a malfunction. Wipe off the moisture on its surface, and put the unit on a dry soft cloth to drain the collected water inside the unit. Then, dry the unit in an airy place until no moisture remains.

Note

• If the surface of the unit gets dirty, do not use detergent, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. to clean the unit because it will affect the water-repellent function of the fabric part of the unit.
• Especially in cold regions, be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the unit. Leaving moisture on its surface may cause the unit to freeze and malfunction.
• If sand grains, etc. enter the fabric or other parts of the unit, remove them carefully. Never use a vacuum cleaner, etc. on the unit. It may cause damage to the speaker section or other parts of the unit.
