Rubber seals
The rubber seal around the card slot cover is important for
maintaining water resistance. Do not damage or remove
the rubber seal.
When closing the card slot cover, take care not to get the
rubber seal caught. Forcibly closing the cover with the
rubber seal caught may damage it resulting in loss of water
resistance. Just a small particle (a single hair, etc.) on the
seal can allow intrusion of water.
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. alcohol) gets on the
rubber seal, it may cause deterioration in durability.
Do not insert sharp objects into gaps around the card slot
cover. Doing so might damage or deform the product or
damage the rubber seal, allow intrusion of water.
It is recommended to replace parts used for maintaining
water resistance once every two years regardless of
whether any abnormality is present. For information on part
replacement, contact an au shop near you.
