Health and Safety
WARNING! To avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do not charge the device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle the device, charger or cords with wet hands while charging.
Maintaining dust and water resistance
The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. All compartments must be 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 keeping it submerged for more than 30 minutes. If the device is exposed to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth; if exposed to liquid other than freshwater, rinse with fresh water and dry as directed.
- Any device that uses accessible compartments or ports 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.
Note : Liquid other than fresh water may enter the device faster. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.

interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, according to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
