Water & Dust Resistance
Handset Water & Dust Resistance
Handset complies with IPX5
1
and IPX8
2
water protection
standards as well as IP6X
3
dust protection standard, with
Card Slot 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
IPX8 compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone after being gently submerged to the depth of
1.5 m in still tap water at room temperature, left there for
approximately 30 minutes, then removed from it.
3
IP6X compliant means that no dust enters handset after it
is agitated in a device containing dust of 75 μm or smaller in
diameter for 8 hours.
・Water/dust resistance may be affected under some
circumstances. Warranty does not cover malfunctions
resulting from misuse.
・Handset is compliant with IPX5 and IPX8 water protection
standards as well as IP6X dust protection standard.
However, ingress of dirt, sand, mud, metal powder, food,
beverage, sea water, etc. may cause malfunction.
■Handset Care
・Close Card Slot Cover firmly. Debris (hair, sand, fibers, etc.)
trapped between gasket and Card Slot may allow ingress of
liquid/dust.
・If handset is exposed to liquids with Card Slot Cover
open, they may enter handset and cause electric shock or
malfunction. Discontinue use and power off.
・If handset is wet, wipe it with a dry cloth.
・Never open/close Card Slot Cover with wet hands or while
handset is wet or has a foreign object adhered to it.
・Do not use Earphones-Microphone Port or External Device
Port while it is wet or obstructed by sand/dirt; water/dust
resistance may be affected, or malfunction, burns or fire
may result due to electric shock, short-circuiting, etc.
・Handset is only water resistant against fresh/tap water
between 5

C;
residue may cause malfunction if allowed to dry.
・Do not soak handset in bath or pool; never use it in water
(including key operation).
・Handset is not resistant to water pressure. Avoid high-
pressure water/shower (over 6 liters/min.) and water
immersion.
・Do not expose handset to high humidity for long periods;
avoid prolonged use in bath/shower rooms.
・Volume may be low when an opening such as Mic, Recorder
Mic, Receiver or Speaker is wet; dry handset before use (see
"Drying Handset").
・Charger and other optional accessories are not water or
dust proof. Do not use in high humidity or near water
(outdoors, in bathrooms, shower rooms, etc.); may cause
fire, electric shock or malfunction.
・Do not subject handset to strong impact (e.g., from a fall);
do not poke Mic, Receiver, Speaker, Recorder Mic, etc. with a
sharp object; water/dust resistance may be affected.
・Avoid placing handset directly on sand. Sand may penetrate
Receiver, Speaker, etc., resulting in low volume.
・To prevent condensation, warm handset to room
temperature before bringing it from a cold place into a
warm place such as a bathroom. If condensation occurs,
leave handset at room temperature until it is dry.
・Handset does not float on water.
・Keep handset out of heavy rain.
Charging Cautions
・Never connect Micro USB plug while handset or Charger is
wet.
Handset is water resistant; however, if Micro USB plug
is inserted while it is wet, liquid (tap water, beverage,
sea water, pet urine, etc.) or a foreign object adhered to
handset or Micro USB plug may cause overheating, burnout,
fire, malfunction, burns, etc. due to electric shock, short-
circuiting, etc.
・Do not use Charger where water is regularly in use
(kitchens, bathrooms, shower rooms, etc.); may cause fire or
electric shock.
