After the product gets wet
After the product gets wet, drain water, and wipe the main unit
and the specified back cover with a clean dry cloth without
removing the specified back cover.
In cold climates, water on the product may turn to frost. Using
the product with frost may cause a fault. Do not leave the
product without wiping off water. (No special measures against
condensation have been implemented in this product.)
Rubber seals
The rubber seal around the external connection terminal cover
and the rubber seal found when you open the specified back
cover are important to maintain waterproof property. Do not
damage or remove the rubber seals.
When closing the external connection terminal cover or specified
back cover, take care not to get the rubber seals caught. Forcibly
closing the cover with the rubber seals caught may damage them
resulting in loss of waterproof property. Just a small particle (a hair,
a grain of sand, etc.) on the seals can cause water leak.
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. alcohol) gets on the
rubber seals, it may cause deterioration in durability.
Do not insert sharp objects into gaps around the external
connection terminal cover and specified back cover. Doing so
might damage or deform the product or damage the rubber
seals, causing water leak.
It is recommended to replace the parts for maintaining waterproof
property once every two years regardless of whether any
abnormality is present. For information on part replacement,
contact an au shop near you or Keitai Guarantee Service Center.
Charging
Never charge the battery if the product is wet.
The supplied and optional accessories are not waterproof.
Waterproof property
Do not use the product in places where it may be sprayed
with high-pressure water (e.g. near a faucet or showerhead)
or submerge it in water for extended periods of time, as the
product is not designed to withstand high water pressure.
Also, do not expose the product to a water flow stronger than
the specified flow rate (i.e. 6 liters per minute from a faucet or
showerhead, at which you might even feel pain in the skin).
Doing so might cause a fault, even though the product has a
waterproof property equivalent to IPX5. Do not wash the product
in a washing machine or ultrasound bath.
The product does not float on water.

Do not use the product in places where boiling water may splash
on it, in saunas or near hot air (e.g. hairdryer). The product is not
resistant to hot temperatures.
Shock
This product is not resistant to shock. Do not drop the product
or subject it to shock. Also, do not jab the microphone, speaker,
etc. with a cotton swab or any sharp object. Doing so might
damage or deform the product causing water leak.
