Handset Water Resistance/Dustproofing
・Calling in the rain without umbrella (approximately 20 mm
rainfall per hour)
・Washing with tap water at normal temperature (5°C - 35°C)
with weak water flow
- When washing handset, be sure to securely close SIM Card/
SD Card Slot Cover and do not scrub handset strongly.
- When washing handset, do not use a brush or sponge or do
not wash with soap or detergent.
- After washing handset, wipe it with dry cloth thoroughly
to drain water. For draining water, see
Handset Gets Wet."
・Although you can use handset at a poolside, do not get
water from a pool on handset or soak it in pool water.
Notes
To maintain water resistance/dustproof performance, be sure
to check the following:
・Firmly close SIM Card/SD Card Slot Cover. Even a fine
particle (one hair, one grain of sand, tiny fiber, etc.) put
between the port contact surfaces may allow water or dust
to ingress.
・Do not push Earpiece, Second Mic, Mic, Speaker, Earphones-
Microphone Jack, External Device Port, or USIM/SD Card
Tray with a sharp-pointed object.
・Do not let handset fall. Scratch on handset may degrade
water resistance/dustproof performance.
・Rubber gaskets on inner side of SIM Card/SD Card Slot Cover
play important roles for water resistance/dustproofing.
Do not remove or damage them. Also, prevent dust from
adhering onto them.
・To maintain water resistance/dustproof performance, it
is recommended to replace inner parts once in 2 years
regardless of the handset condition. Bring handset to a
SoftBank Shop etc. to replace them. Fee is incurred for the
replacement. Contact a SoftBank Shop or

Microphone Jack and may cause water resistance/dustproof
performance to be degraded.
- Using handset with waterdrop or sand adhered may cause
sound to be distorted.
・Do not allow water to remain in Earpiece, Second Mic,
Mic, Speaker, Earphones-Microphone Jack. Such water may
