Never use a damaged charger or battery.
Maintaining water and dust resistance
Your device supports water- and dust-resistance. Follow these tips carefully to maintain the
water- and dust-resistance of your device. Failure to do so may result in damage to your
device.
•
Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1.5 m or keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Do not expose the device to
water moving with force
.

If the device is exposed to clean water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to other liquids, such as salt water, ionized water, or alcoholic beverage,
rinse it with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If you do not follow
these instructions, the device’s performance and appearance may be affected.

,
sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Wipe the device with a dry cloth or dry it
thoroughly before using it.
•
The touchscreen and other features may not work properly
if the device is used in water
.
•
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to be water-
and dust-resistant in specific situations (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, 1.5 metre, 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, it is still possible for your device to be damaged in certain
situations.
