Important Information
Before you use your device, please read the
Important
Information provided in your device regarding warranty,
safety and handling information.
Protecting your device from
water and dust
Your device has IP (Ingress Protection) ratings of IP55 and
IP58. These ratings mean that your device is dust resistant
and is protected against low pressure water stream as well
as against the effects of submersion for 30 minutes in
fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 metres deep.
Always firmly attach all covers to ensure the water and
dust resistance of the device. If liquid is detected inside
the device, for example, underneath one of the covers,
your warranty will be void.
Before using your device in water and in dusty conditions,
refer to the relevant section of the User guide for your
device for more detailed information. An online User guide
as well as a downloadable version is available at
www.sonymobile.com/support
