Using your Style Cover Window in wet and dusty conditions
Your Style Cover Window is waterproof in compliance with the Ingress Protection
(IP) ratings IPX5 and IPX8, as explained in the table below.
These specific IP ratings mean that your Style Cover Window is protected against
low pressure water stream as well as against the effects of immersion for 30
minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 metres deep.
Even if your Style Cover Window is resistant to water, you should avoid using it
unnecessarily in or under water and should avoid exposing it to moist
environments with extreme high or low temperatures and high humidity.
Never immerse your Style Cover Window in hot water, non-fresh water (for
example, spring water, chlorinated pool water and sea water) or other kinds of
water that could damage it. Also, never expose the Style Cover Window to any
liquid chemicals, for example, detergent, alcohol and other abrasive liquids such as
juice, vinegar and ketchup. After exposure to non-fresh water, rinse your Style
Cover Window using fresh water.
If your Style Cover Window gets exposed to water, make sure it is completely dry
before using it again. For example, if the Style Cover Window has not completely
dried, it may not respond when you tap the window, or functions such as data
transfer and calling might be negatively impacted.
Do not attach the Style Cover Window to or remove it from your Xperia™ device
using excessive force or a method not described in this User guide.
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning all areas of your Style Cover Window. To prevent
colour fading, do not wipe the accessory with alcohol, thinner, benzene or any kind
of detergent.
Do not expose the Style Cover Window unnecessarily to environments with
excessive dust, sand and mud.
If sand, mud or dust gets stuck between the front cover of the Style Cover Window
and your Xperia™ device, wipe it off with a soft cloth. Otherwise, there is a risk that
your Xperia™ device and the Style Cover Window might incur scratch damage.
There is a possibility of discolouration or colour migration due to friction, sweating
and exposure to non-fresh water. Be mindful of this if you are using the Style Cover
Window in close proximity to fabrics and other materials.
These instructions for use in wet and dusty conditions apply only to use of the Style Cover
Window. Your Xperia™ device may have its own instructions and restrictions on use in wet
and dusty conditions. Please ensure you check these too before exposing the device to
such conditions.
Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use
of your Style Cover Window (including use in environments where the relevant IP
rating limitations are exceeded). If you have any further questions about the use of
your accessory, refer to our Customer support service for help.
Ingress Protection Rating
Your Style Cover Window has an IP rating in accordance with IEC Standard 60529,
which means it has undergone certified tests to measure its resistance levels to
both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP rating indicates the level of
protection against solid objects, including dust. The second digit indicates how
resistant the device is to water.
