These specific IP ratings mean that your device is dust-resistant and 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 meters deep. You can use your device: • in dusty environments, for example, on a windy beach. • when your fingers are wet. • in some extreme weather conditions, for example, when it's snowing or raining. • in fresh (non-saline) water depths of 1.5 meters or less, for example, in a fresh water lake or river. • in a chlorinated swimming pool. Even if your device is resistant to dust and water, you should avoid exposing it unnecessarily to environments with excessive dust, sand, and mud or to moist environments with extreme high or low temperatures. The waterproof characteristic of the micro USB port, the SIM card slot, the memory card slot, and the headset jack cannot be guaranteed in all environments or conditions. Never immerse your device in salt water or let the micro USB port or headset jack come into contact with salt water. For example, if you're at the beach, remember to keep your device away from the sea water. Also, never expose the device to any liquid chemicals. For example, if you're washing dishes by hand using liquid detergent, avoid bringing your device into contact with the detergent. After exposure to non-fresh water, rinse your device using fresh water. Normal wear and tear, along with damage to your device, can reduce its ability to resist dust or moisture. After using the device in water, dry off the areas around all covers, including the covers for the micro USB port, the SIM card slot, and the memory card slot. If the speaker or microphone get wet, their function may be impacted until the water has completely dried. Please note that the drying time can be up to three hours depending on the environment. During this time, you can, however, use other features in the device that do not utilize the speaker or microphone. All compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, hands-free devices, and micro USB cables, are not waterproof and dust-resistant on their own. Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use of your device (including use in environments where the relevant IP rating limitations are exceeded). If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer to our Customer support service for help. Also, for warranty information, refer to the Important information which can be accessed via the Setup guide in your device. IP (Ingress Protection) rating Your device has an IP rating, 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. Resistance to solid objects and dust Resistance to water IP0X: No special protection IPX0: No special protection IP1X: Protected against solid objects > 50 mm in diameter IPX1: Protected against dripping water IP2X: Protected against solid objects > 12.5 mm in diameter IPX2: Protected against dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees from normal position IP3X: Protected against solid objects > 2.5 IPX3: Protected against spraying water mm in diameter IP4X: Protected against solid objects > 1 mm in diameter IPX4: Protected against splashing water IP5X: Protected against dust; limited ingress (no harmful deposits) IPX5: Protected against water jet spray for at least 3 minutes IP6X: Dust-tight IPX6: Protected against heavy jet spray for at least 3 minutes 123 This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
