and dust resistance equivalent to IP5X with Card Slot Cap
completely installed. Handset also has shock resistance
compliant with MIL standards (Kyocera testing methods).

bathrooms, kitchens, at poolside, and other places with water.
* For details, see "

In Various Environments

However, failure to observe precautions given here may allow
water, sand, foreign particles, etc. to enter handset and
may cause overheating, ignition, electric shock, scratches,
malfunction, etc. For safe handset use, first read precautions
here.

IPX5 equivalent
Handset continues to function as a phone after being sprayed
from all directions with 12.5 L of water per minute from
a 6.3 mm diameter nozzle for at least 3 minutes, from a
distance of approximately 3 m.

IPX7 equivalent
Handset continues to function as a phone without water
intrusion after being slowly immersed in still tap water of
room temperature to a depth of 1 m, and left there for
approximately 30 minutes before being removed again.

IP5X equivalent
Handset will maintain a certain level of functionality and
safety even after particulates in dustproof testing (dia. 75
μm or less) have entered handset.

Compliance with Military Standards
Although drop testing in compliance with MIL-STD-810G
Method 516.7:Shock-Procedure IV as stipulated by the US
Department of Defense (product dropped in 26 directions
onto plywood (lauan) from a height of 1.22 m), this is not a
guarantee with regard to all types of shock.
* As handset is designed with shock resistance in everyday
usage, handset may break if subjected to excessive impact
such as being thrown against something. Dropping may
produce scratches, etc. even if handset performance is
unaffected.
