to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with aclean, 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 or the microphone or speaker is wet,
sound may not be heard clearly during acall. After wiping the device with adry
cloth, dry it 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 and dust resistant features
of the device may be damaged.
