Maintain Water and Dust
Resistance
This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress
Protection rating system. The dust rating is
6 (highest level of protection), and the water
resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter
for up to 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.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
•
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 meter deep for more
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to salt
water, wash the device with fresh water then dry
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise,
when it dries, salt may accumulate and block the
microphone, earpiece, and speaker.
•
When drying off your device, be sure to pat the
earpiece (top front of phone), microphone (bottom
of phone), and speaker (rear of phone) with a
clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as
possible.
•
When making a call immediately after your device
is wet, the microphone may have water in it which
may lower the volume that the other person will
hear. After drying off the device, allow the device
to air-dry before making a call.
•
The back and multipurpose jack covers may
be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or
receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are
properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise,
they may not provide protection from water and
dust.
•
Always keep the multipurpose jack cover clean
and be careful to avoid damaging it.
Note: The touch screen may not be active in water.
