Maintaining the Waterproof and Dustproof
Properties
■
Rubber seal
The rubber seal on the au IC Card/microSD memory card tray is important to
maintain the waterproof/dustproof property. Be sure to observe the following
items.
•
Do not remove or scratch it.
•
When closing the au IC Card/microSD memory card tray, do not get the
rubber seal caught. Also, do not insert sharp objects into gaps around the
au IC Card/microSD memory card tray, the earphone/microphone jack or
external connection jack section.
Doing so may damage the rubber seal and cause liquid or dust to get inside.
•
It is recommended to replace the parts for maintaining the waterproof/
dustproof property (pay service) once every two years regardless of whether
any abnormality is present. For information on part replacement, contact an
au shop near you.
