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

water/dust resistant, the charger (sold separately) is not water/dust
resistant. Any water or foreign matter on the product or microUSB
plug when inserting the microUSB plug while the product/specified

Do not touch the desktop holder (sold separately) or specified
charger (sold separately) with wet hands. Doing so may cause
electric shock.
•
