Maintaining the device’s water and dust resistance
•
This device is water and dust resistant, and meets the following international standards.
–
5ATM water resistance classification certification: Was tested by submerging the
device in 50 m of fresh water for 10 minutes, leaving it still, without any movement, to
meet the requirements of ISO 22810:2010.
–
IPX8 water resistance classification certification: Was tested by submerging the device
in 1.5 m of fresh water for 30 minutes, leaving it still, without any movement, to meet
the requirements of IEC 60529.
–
IP6X dust resistance classification certification: Was tested to meet the requirements of
IEC 60529.
•
You can use this device when you are exercising, washing your hands or on a rainy day.
•
You can use this device when you are swimming in a pool or the sea where the water
level is not deep.
•
You must follow the guidelines below to maintain the water and dust resistance of your
device.
–
After swimming, and before the pool water or seawater has dried, rinse the device
with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its water
resistance. The water resistance may be affected by the disinfectants in swimming
pool water or the salt in seawater.
–
If the device gets wet with liquid other than fresh water, such as coffee, drinks, soapy
water, oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand sanitiser, or chemical products like cosmetics,
rinse the device with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth to
maintain its water resistance.
–
Do not stay submerged underwater, go snorkeling, diving or scuba diving, or play
water sports like water-skiing or surfing, and do not swim in fast-moving water, such
as a river, while wearing your device. Also, do not expose it to high-pressure cleaning
machines or similar things. This would result in a dramatic rise in water pressure which
could cause the water resistance guaranteed by our company to change.
–
If the device is hit or damaged, its water and dust resistance may be compromised.
–
Do not disassemble your device without proper guidance.
–
If you dry your device with a machine that gives off hot air, like a hair dryer, or if you
use your device in a hot environment like a sauna, the water resistance could be
damaged from a dramatic change in the air or water temperature.

Precautions for overheating
If you feel discomfort due to overheating while using the device, stop using it immediately
and remove it from your wrist.
To avoid problems, such as device malfunction, skin discomfort or damage, and battery
draining, a warning will appear on the device if it reaches a specific temperature. When the
initial warning appears, device functions will be disabled until the device cools down to a
specific temperature. However, the emergency call feature will be available on the LTE model.
If the device temperature continues to increase, a second warning will appear. At this time,
the device will shut down. Do not use the device until it cools down to a specific temperature.
However, when using the LTE model, the emergency call feature that has been previously
connected will remain active until you are finished, even though the second warning will
appear.
Cleaning and managing the Watch
Follow the points below to ensure your Watch functions correctly and maintains its
appearance. Failure to do so may damage the Watch and cause the skin irritation.
•
Turn off the Watch and remove the band before cleaning it.
•
Prevent the device from being exposed to dust, sweat, ink, oil, and chemical products
such as cosmetics, antibacterial spray, hand cleaner, detergent, and insecticides.
The Watch’s exterior and interior parts may be damaged or it could result in poor
performance. If your Watch is exposed to any of the previously mentioned substances,
use a lint-free, soft cloth to clean it.
•
Do not use soap, cleaning agents, abrasive materials and compressed air when cleaning
your Watch and do not clean it with the ultrasonic waves or the external heat sources.
Doing so may damage the Watch. Skin irritation may be caused by soap, detergents,
hand sanitizers, or cleaning agents left on the Watch.
•
When you remove sun block, lotion, or oil, use a soap-free detergent, then rinse and dry
your Watch thoroughly.
•
The hybrid band is not water-resistant. Do not swim or take a shower while using the
hybrid band.
•
The hybrid band may make squeaking sound where it connects with the Watch due to
the characteristics of the leather material. This is normal and you can address this issue by
applying leather care products to the band at the connection point.
