Notes on waterproof and dust proof features (Read before using the
system)
Waterproof and dust proof performance of the system
The system, with the cap fastened securely, has a waterproof specification of
IPX7 1 as specified in “Degree of protection against water immersion” of the
IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)” 3 , and a dust proof
specification of IP6X 2 as specified in “Degrees of protection against solid
foreign objects” 3 .
Liquids that the waterproof performance specifications apply to
Applicable : fresh water, tap water, pool water, sea water
Not applicable : liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with
detergent or bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, etc.)
1 IPX7 (Degree of protection against water immersion): For details, refer to the Help Guide.
2 IP6X (Degrees of protection against dust): For details, refer to the Help Guide.
*3 The supplied accessories are not waterproof or dust proof.
The waterproof and dust proof performance of the system is based on our measurements under the conditions herein described. 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 deterioration of waterproof and dust proof performance
Check the following and use the system correctly.
- The system passes the drop test from 1.22 m on plywood of 5 cm thickness conforming to MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5-Shock. However, this does not guarantee no damage, no breakdown, or waterproof and dust proof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from dropping the system or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the waterproof and dust proof performance.
- Do not use the system in a location where large amounts of water or hot water may splash on it. The system does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the system in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as under running water or 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 system directly. Also, never use the system in high temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove.
- Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the waterproof and dust proof performance. When using the system, 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 waterproof and dust proof performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the system as a result of water or dust particles entering the system.
How to care for the system
Although the fabric part of the system has water repellent treatment applied, you can use the system more comfortably and for a longer period of time by following the maintenance procedure below.
-
If the surface of the system gets dirty in the following cases, wash the system with fresh water (tap water, etc.) promptly to remove the dirt. Leaving dirt on its surface may cause the fabric part to discolor or deteriorate, or the system to malfunction.
Ex.- When salt, sand, etc. is stuck on the system after using it on a beach, pool side, etc.
- When the system is stained with foreign substances (sunscreen, suntan oil, etc.)
-
If the system gets wet, wipe off the moisture using a dry soft cloth immediately. In addition, dry the system in an airy place until no moisture remains.
-
The sound quality may change when water enters the speaker section of the system. It is not malfunction. Wipe off the moisture on its surface, and put the system on a dry soft cloth with the SONY logo facing down to drain the collected water inside the system. Then, dry the system in an airy place until no moisture remains.
Note
- If the surface of the system gets dirty, do not use detergent, thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. to clean the system because it will affect the water repellent function of the fabric part of the system.
- Especially in cold regions, be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the system. Leaving moisture on its surface may cause the system to freeze and malfunction.
- Do not place the system directly on sand, such as in a sandbox or on a sandy beach. If sand grains, etc. enter the fabric part of the system, remove them carefully. Never use a vacuum cleaner, etc. on the system. It may cause damage of the speaker unit.
