Water & Dust Resistance
944SH Water & Dust Resistance
944SH complies with IPX5 (former JIS
1
protection level 5) and IPX7 (former JIS
2
protection level 7) water protection standards
as well as IP5X (JIS protection level 5)
protection standard, with Port Cover and
Battery Cover closed firmly.
1
IPX5 compliant means that a handset continues to
function as a phone after being subjected to a
water jet (approximately 12.5 liters/min.) discharged
from a nozzle (inner diameter: 6.3 mm), from all
directions (approximately 3 m from handset) for at
least 3 minutes.
2
IPX7 compliant means that a handset continues
to function as a phone after being gently
submerged to the depth of 1 m in still tap water at
room temperature, left there for approximately
30 minutes, then removed from it.
3
IP5X compliant means that a handset continues to
function as a phone and its safety is maintained
after being agitated in a device containing dust of
75 µ m or smaller in diameter for 8 hours, then
removed from the device.
. Water/dust resistance may be affected under
some circumstances. Malfunction resulting
from misuse is not covered by the warranty.
. 944SH is compliant with IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X
water/dust protection standards. However,
ingress of dirt, sand, mud, metal powder,
food, beverage, etc. may cause malfunction.

Important Notes
. Close Battery Cover and Port Cover firmly.
Debris (hair, sand, fibers, etc.) trapped between
cover and base may expose handset to liquid/
dust.

. If Battery/Port Cover is left open liquid exposure
dust
may cause handset malfunction/electric shock.
Power handset off, then remove battery.
. If handset is wet, wipe it with dry cloth.
. Do not open/close Battery/Port Cover with wet
hands or while handset is wet.
. Handset is resistant to fresh/tap water at normal
temperature (5oC - 35oC) only.
Precautions
. Do not subject handset to soap, detergent, bath
powder/oil, sea/pool/spa water, hot water, etc.
. Wash off sea/pool water, beverage, dirt, sand,
mud, etc. immediately; residue may cause
malfunction if allowed to dry.
. Wash off sand, dirt, etc. completely before use;
any residue may damage handset causing
malfunction.
. Do not soak handset in bath or pool; never use it
in water (including opening/closing of handset
and pressing keys).
. Handset is not resistant to water pressure.
Avoid high-pressure water/shower (over 6 liters/
min.) or water immersion.
. Do not expose handset to extreme humidity for
long periods; avoid prolonged use in bath/
shower rooms.
. Do not use in saunas. Avoid hot air from dryers,
etc.
. Use handset within 5oC - 35oC (up to 40oC for
brief periods in bath/shower rooms, etc.) and
35% - 90% humidity.
. Avoid extreme temperatures (e.g., near stoves,
inside refrigerators, etc.).
. Volume may be low when Microphone/Earpiece/
Speaker is wet; dry handset before use.
. Battery, Desktop Holder and optional
accessories are not waterproofed or
dustproofed.
. Do not subject handset to strong shocks or
impacts; do not poke Microphone, Earpiece,
Speaker, etc. with a cotton swab or sharp
object; water/dust resistance may be affected.
. Avoid placing handset directly on sand. Sand
may penetrate Earpiece, Speaker, etc., resulting
in low volume.
. Sand, etc. trapped in the hinge may cause
excessive friction or noise when opening/closing
handset.
. Touch Panel (Sub Display) may not respond
properly if wet or touched with wet fingers.
. Do not move handset directly from a cold place
to a warm humid place; condensation may
occur. Should this happen, dry handset
naturally at room temperature.
. 944SH does not float on water.
. Keep handset out of heavy rain.
. Do not let liquid-exposed handset remain wet;
exposure to cold may freeze liquid causing
malfunction.
. Damaged Battery/Port Cover affects water/dust
resistance; contact a SoftBank Shop.
