Notes on water and dust
resistance
The K012 has water resistance equivalent to IPX5 and IPX7, as well as dust
resistance equivalent to IP5X (with the external connection terminal cover and
battery cover securely attached (based on in-house testing). However, use
regardless of the precautions on pages 16 to 19 may result in water
seepage or intrusion of sand/foreign particles, resulting in overheating, ignition,
electric shock, scratching, malfunction, etc. Read the precautions on pages 16
to 19 for safe use.
• IPX5 equivalent
Means that the product will maintain its operability as a phone even if it is
sprayed with water from a 6.3 mm diameter nozzle at a distance of about 3
meters for more than 3 minutes at a rate of about 12.5 liters per minute from any
direction.
• IPX7 equivalent
Means that the product will maintain its functionality as a phone with no water
getting inside the main unit even if it is gently submerged in a tank of still tap
water at room temperature to a depth of 1 meter for about 30 minutes.
• IP5X equivalent
Means that the product has sufficient protection to maintain certain operability
and safety even after grit and dust for dustproof testing (diameter of 75 μm or
less) has entered it.
• Specifically, you can use the product in the rain (less than 20 mm per hour)
without umbrella, as well as use the product in a place with water such as a
bathroom, kitchen or poolside.
Important items to remember before use
• Firmly close the external connection terminal
cover and attach and lock the battery cover
to prevent water seepage. Make sure that
they are securely closed so that they are not
raised.
• Just a small particle (a hair, grain of sand, etc.) on the seals can cause water
leaks.
• Do not place the product on sand at a beach, etc. Grains of sand or other
small particles might get into the microphone or speaker causing the volume to
drop.
• Do not use (including opening/closing and key operation) the product
underwater.
• Do not expose the product to or immerse it in liquids other than room
temperature fresh water/tap water (water with soap, detergent, bath salts, hot
spring, boiling water, sand/mud, seawater, a swimming pool, alcohol, etc.).
