The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. It is
important that all compartments are closed tightly. Follow these tips
carefully to prevent damage to the device and maintain dust and water
resistance performance:
-
Water resistant based on IP68 rating, which tests submersion in fresh water deeper than 1.5 meters or keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes. If device is
exposed to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth; if exposed to liquid other than fresh water, rinse
with fresh water and dry as directed. -
Any device which uses accessible compar tments or por ts that can be opened should have these sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering the system.
-
If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a call. After wiping the device with a dry cloth, dry it thoroughly before using it.
-
Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
-
If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust resistant features of the device may be damaged.
