prevent damage to the device and to maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of
the device.
•
Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap,
ocean waves, or waterfalls.

If the device or your hands are wet, dry them thoroughly before handling the device.
•
If the device is exposed to freshwater, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the

immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device
in freshwater and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability
or cosmetic issues.

is clean and dry by wiping it with a dry cloth.
•
The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water
or in other liquids.
•
