Notes on waterproof and dust proof features (Read
before using the system)
Waterproof and dust proof performance of the system
The system, with the cap fastened securely, has a waterproof specification of IPX7
"Degree of protection against water immersion" of the IEC60529 "Ingress Protection Rating (IP
*3
Code)" , and a dust proof specification of IP6X
*3
foreign objects" .
Liquids that the waterproof performance specifications apply to
Applicable:
fresh water, tap water, pool water, sea water
Not applicable:
liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with detergent or
bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, etc.)
1
* IPX7 (Degree of protection against water immersion): For details, refer to the Help Guide.
* 2 IP6X (Degrees of protection against dust): For details, refer to the Help Guide.
3
* The supplied accessories are not waterproof or dust proof.
The waterproof and dust proof performance of the system is based on our measurements under
the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust
intrusion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.
To avoid deterioration of waterproof and dust proof performance
Check the following and use the system correctly.
 The system passes the drop test from 1.22 m on plywood of 5 cm thickness conforming to
MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5-Shock. However, this does not guarantee no damage, no breakdown,
or waterproof and dust proof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from
dropping the system or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the
waterproof and dust proof performance.
 Do not use the system in a location where large amounts of water or hot water may splash on it.
The system does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the system in a
location where high water pressure is applied, such as under running water or in the shower, may
cause a malfunction.
 Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on
the system directly. Also, never use the system in high temperature locations such as in saunas or
near a stove.
 Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the waterproof
and dust proof performance. When using the system, make sure that the cap is closed
completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not
closed completely the waterproof and dust proof performance may deteriorate and may cause a
malfunction of the system as a result of water or dust particles entering the system.
