Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection
rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of
classication IP68 as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 ‑ Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15‑35°C,
86‑106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30 minutes). Despite this
classication, your device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is important that all
compartments are closed tightly.
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your
device components or an internally sealed system,
this condition will void your device warranty.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
• Any device which uses accessible compartments or
ports that can be opened should have these sealed
or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering
the system.
• Wheneveryour device gets wet, dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized
water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water,
dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh
water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately
and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it
as instructed may cause the device to suffer from
operability or cosmetic issues.

7 Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started
• 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.
