On water resistant performance of the headset
The water resistant specifications of this headset are equivalent to IPX4 in IEC 60529 "Degrees of protection against
ingress of water (IP Code)", which specifies the degree of protection provided against the entry of water.
Unless the unit is used correctly, water may get into the headset and cause fire, electrocution, or malfunctions. Note
the following cautions carefully and use the headset correctly.
IPX4: Protected against water splashing from any direction.
(Make sure that the USB Type-C port cover is closed securely when you use the headset.)
The sound conduits (sound output tubes) and air holes of the headset are not completely watertight.
If any water droplets are left in the sound conduits, air holes or microphone hole, the following issues may occur
temporarily, but they are not malfunctions.
Sounds become difficult to hear.
Unusual sounds are heard.
Voices during phone calls become difficult to hear.
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications of the headset apply to
Applicable: Fresh water, tap water, perspiration
Not Liquids other than those above (examples: soapy water, detergent water, water with bath agents,
applicable: shampoo, hot spring water, hot water, pool water, seawater, etc.)
The water resistant performance of the headset is based on measurements performed by Sony under the conditions
described above. Note that malfunctions resulting from water immersion caused by customer misuse are not covered by
the warranty.
To maintain water resistant performance
Carefully note the precautions below to ensure proper use of the headset.
Make sure the USB Type-C port cover is closed securely when using the headset. If there is any foreign material on
the cover or it is not completely closed, water resistant performance cannot be maintained. Water may get inside and
cause the headset to malfunction.
Make sure the sound output part of the headset does not come in contact with strong splashes of water.
Do not drop the headset into water, and do not use underwater.
Do not allow the headset to remain wet in a cold environment, as the water may freeze. To prevent malfunction,
make sure to wipe off any water after use.
Do not place the headset in water or use it in a humid place such as a bathroom.
Do not drop the headset or expose it to mechanical shock. Doing so may deform or damage the headset, resulting in
deterioration of water resistance performance.
If the headset gets wet,
1.
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe off any water that gets on the headset.
2.
Remove the earbud tips, turn the sound conduits and the air holes downward, and shake several times to get the
water out.
