Water Resistance

Handset Water Resistance

Handset complies with IPX5 (former JIS protection level 5)

and IPX7 (former JIS protection level 7)

water protection

standards, with Card Slot Cover closed firmly. (Handset is not
dust proof.)

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.

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.

・Water resistance may be affected under some circumstances.

Warranty does not cover malfunctions resulting from
misuse.

・Handset is compliant with IPX5 and IPX7 water protection

standards. However, ingress of 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.

・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.

・Do not use Earphones-Microphone Port or External Device

Port while it is wet or obstructed by sand/dirt; water
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 - 35

Precautions

・Do not subject handset to soap, detergent, bath powder/oil,

sea/pool/spa water, hot water, etc.

・Rinse off sea/pool water, beverage, dirt, sand, mud, etc.

immediately with fresh/tap water between 5

C - 35

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 Mic, Recorder Mic, Receiver

or Speaker is wet; dry handset before use (see "

Drying

Handset

").

・Charger and other optional accessories are not waterproof.

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, Pressure
Vent, etc. with a sharp object.

・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.
