Precautions When Using this Product
•
— Check that there is no dust, sand or other foreign matter on the battery pack cover,
microSD card slot cover or microUSB port/earphone-microphone jack cover, or
on the respective contact surfaces. If any soiling is found, wipe it off with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. Even very small amounts of soiling trapped on the contact surfaces
(a single hair or grain of sand, etc.) can cause water to leak into the device.
— Check that the waterproof seals on the battery pack cover and microSD card slot
cover are free from cracks and other damage.
— Close the battery pack cover lock switch firmly until the switch is in the locked position.
— Avoid opening and closing the battery pack cover or microSD card slot cover in locations
near water or exposed to sea breezes, and do not open or close them with wet hands.
— Do not drop this product or leave it in locations exposed to temperatures outside
the specified range. Doing so could impair its water- or dust-proofing.
