Notes on waterproof and dust proof features (Read 
before using the system)

Waterproof and dust proof performance of the system

The system, with the cap fastened securely, has a waterproof specification of IPX7

*1

 as specified in 

“Degree of protection against water immersion” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP 
Code)”

*3

, and a dust proof specification of IP6X

*2

 as specified in “Degrees of protection against solid 

foreign objects”

  IPX7 (Degree of protection against water immersion): For details, refer to the Help Guide.

*

2

  IP6X (Degrees of protection against dust): For details, refer to the Help Guide.

*

3

  The supplied accessories are not waterproof or dust proof.

The waterproof and dust proof performance of the system is based on our measurements under 
the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust 
intrusion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.

To avoid deterioration of waterproof and dust proof performance

Check the following and use the system correctly.

 

The system passes the drop test from 1.22 m on plywood of 5 cm thickness conforming to 
MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5-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 system or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the 
waterproof and dust proof performance.

 

Do not use the system in a location where large amounts of water or hot water may splash on it. 
The system does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the system in a 
location where high water pressure is applied, such as under running water or in the shower, may 
cause a malfunction.

 

Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on 
the system directly. Also, never use the system in high temperature locations such as in saunas or 
near a stove.

 

Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the waterproof 
and dust proof performance. When using the system, make sure that the cap is closed 
completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not 
closed completely the waterproof and dust proof performance may deteriorate and may cause a 
malfunction of the system as a result of water or dust particles entering the system.
