Water Resistance; Ip (Ingress Protection) Rating - Sony Xperia V LT25i User Manual

Water resistance

In order for your phone to be water resistant, the covers for the micro USB port and
the headset connector must be firmly closed. Also, make sure that the battery cover
is attached correctly.
Avoid exposing your phone to environments with excessive dust or moisture. Normal
wear and tear along with damage to your device can reduce its ability to resist dust
or moisture. Do not use your phone in the following conditions:
Ocean water
Hot water
Never submerge the mobile phone, the micro USB port or the headset connector in
water, expose the mobile phone to any liquid chemicals, or expose your mobile
phone to moist environments with extreme high or low temperatures. If water or liquid
gets on the micro USB port and the headset connector, wipe it off with a dry cloth.
The water resistance of the micro USB port and the headset connector is not
guaranteed in all environments or conditions.
All compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, handsfree devices, micro
USB cables, and microSD™ cards are not dust and water resistant on their own.
Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use
of your device. If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer
to our Customer support service for help.

IP (Ingress Protection) rating

Your phone has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to
measure its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP
rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The
second digit indicates how resistant the phone is to water. The higher the numbers,
the higher the respective protection.
The IP ratings of your phone are IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X. This means that your phone is
dust protected and is protected against the effects of immersion and low pressure
water stream. So you can use the phone in extreme weather conditions, for example,
when it's snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high. You can also use the
phone in dusty or sandy environments, and when your fingers are wet. See the table
for more details.
