Disclaimer regarding dustproof, waterproof and
shockproof performance
Your handset is compliant with the IP57 standard (for
information about the IP57 standard, see IEC60529. Test
conditions: 15°C to 35°C; 25% to 75% relative humidity; 86–
106 kPa (860–1060 mbar) atmospheric pressure), which gives
limited protection from dust and liquid ingress. It is not
waterproof and should never be immersed in any liquid. The
handset comes with an anti-dismantle label. Dismantling the
handset and any human caused liquid ingress will void your
warranty. To ensure continued protection against liquid damage,
ensure that the battery cover, and the antenna port, earphone
jack, and USB port cover are securely closed.
Any improper use of the handset may lead to lower
performance, and for any consequences arising from this,
including but not limited to the inability of the handset or other
property loss, we will not take responsibility as permitted by law.
