Maintaining Water and DustResistance
Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP68rating, which tests submersion up to 5.0 feet for up to 30 minutes.
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and shown to be water and dust resistant in certain circumstances (meets
requirements of classification IP68 as described by the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures
[IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to
water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.
•Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
•Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than 30 minutes. If your device is
exposed to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh water, rinse
the device with fresh water immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and
dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.
•Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
•If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust resistant features of the device may be damaged.
•The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water or in other liquids.
