The unit passes the drop test from 1.22 m on plywood of 5 cm thickness conforming to MIL-STD810H 
Method 516.8-Shock. However, this does not guarantee no damage, no breakdown, or waterproof and 
dust proof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from dropping the unit or 
subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the waterproof and dust proof 
performance.

This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the unit in a location where 
high water pressure is applied, such as in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
