Maintaining water resistance
CAUTIONTo avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do not charge
device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle device,
charger or cords with wet hands while charging.
The device is not impervious to 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 water
resistance performance:
lWater resistant based on IPX8 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.
lAny 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.
lIf the device has been immersed in water, the touchscreen or other features may
not work properly. If the microphone or speaker is wet, sound may not be heard
clearly during a call. Use a dry cloth to dry the device thoroughly before using it.
lDo not expose the device to water at high pressure.
lIf the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water 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.
