1
and IPX7 (former JIS protection level 7)
2
water protection
standards as well as IP5X (JIS protection level 5)
3
dust
protection standard, with Port Cover and Battery Cover closed

1
IPX5 compliant means that a handset continues to
function as a phone after being subjected to a water jet
(approximately 12.5 liters/min.) discharged from a nozzle
(inner diameter: 6.3 mm), from all directions (approximately 3
m from handset) for at least 3 minutes.
2
IPX7 compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone after being gently submerged to the depth of
1 m in still tap water at room temperature, left there for
approximately 30 minutes, then removed from it.
3
IP5X compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone and its safety is maintained after being agitated in
a device containing dust of 75 μm or smaller in diameter for 8
hours, then removed from the device.
・Water/dust resistance may be affected under some
circumstances. Warranty does not cover malfunctions
resulting from misuse.
・Handset is compliant with IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X water/dust
protection standards. However, ingress of dirt, sand, mud,
metal powder, food, beverage, etc. may cause malfunction.
■Important Notes
・Close Battery Cover and Port Cover firmly. Debris (hair,
sand, fibers, etc.) trapped between gasket and base may
expose handset to liquid/dust.
・If Battery/Port Cover is left open liquid exposure may cause
handset malfunction/electric shock. Power off, then remove
Battery.
・If handset is wet, wipe it with dry cloth.
・Do not open/close Battery/Port Cover with wet hands or
while handset is wet.
・Do not use Headphones while Headphone Port is wet or
obstructed by sand/dirt; water/dust resistance may be
affected causing malfunction.
・Handset is only water resistant against fresh/tap water
between 5
o
C - 35
o
C.
■Dust Resistance
・Handset complies with IP5X dust protection standard.
However, dust resistance may not be guaranteed under some
circumstances (placing handset directly on sand, etc.).
・Remove dust from handset completely before use by rinsing
off with water, etc.
・Any residue may damage Display; may cause serious
malfunction.
Precautions
・Do not subject handset to soap, detergent, bath powder/oil,
sea/pool/spa water, hot water, etc.
・Rinse off sea/pool water, beverage, dirt, sand, mud, etc.
immediately; residue may cause malfunction if allowed to
dry.

may damage handset causing malfunction.
・Do not soak handset in bath or pool; never use it in water
(including key operation).
・Handset is not resistant to water pressure. Avoid high-
pressure water/shower (over 6 liters/min.) or water
immersion.
・Do not expose handset to extreme humidity for long
periods; avoid prolonged use in bath/shower rooms.
・Do not use in saunas. Avoid hot air from dryers, etc.
・Use handset within 5
o
C - 35
o
C (up to 40
o
C for brief
periods in bath/shower rooms, etc.) and 35% - 90%
humidity.
・Avoid extreme temperature (near stoves, inside
refrigerators, etc.).
・Volume may be low when Mic, Earpiece or Speaker is wet;
dry handset before use (see " Drying Handset ").
・Battery and optional accessories are not water or dust
proof.
・Do not subject handset to strong impact; do not poke Mic,
Earpiece, Speaker, etc. with a cotton swab or sharp object;
water/dust resistance may be affected.
・Avoid placing handset directly on sand. Sand may penetrate
Earpiece, Speaker, etc., resulting in low volume.
・Touchscreen may not respond properly if wet or touched
with wet fingers.
・Do not move handset directly from a cold place to a warm
humid place; condensation may occur. Should this happen,
dry handset naturally at room temperature.
・Handset does not float on water.
