Maintaining water and dust resistance
This device is rated IP67 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 classification IP67 as described by the international standard IEC 60529
- Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106 kPa, 1.0 meters,
for 30 minutes). Despite this classification, 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.
●Whenever your 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 1.0 meters 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.
●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.

Section 1: Getting Started 13
●The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids. [071516]
