Safety Precautions

Xperia 5 IV

Water Resistance/Dustproofing

Handset complies with IPX5

, IPX8

water resistance

standards and IP6X

dustproof standard with SIM Card/SD

Card Slot Cover firmly closed.
1 Protection against water jet (at 12.5 L/minute from every
direction from a distance of approximately 3 m for over 3
minutes through 6.3 mm nozzle)
2 Protection against seepage when slowly submerged in still
tap water at room temperature to depth of 1.5 m for 30
minutes
3 Protection against dust ingress when being placed in an
apparatus with grit and dust of diameters of 75 μm or less
and shaken for 8 hours

Handset Water Resistance/Dustproofing

Handset water resistance/dustproofing provides the
following:
Calling in the rain without umbrella (approximately 20 mm
rainfall per hour)

・Do not open or close SIM Card/SD Card Slot Cover with wet

hands or when handset gets wet.

Washing handset when it gets dirty or stained with liquid
other than tap water

・Wash with tap water at normal temperature (5°C - 35°C)

with weak water flow (less than 6 L/minute) at distance of
approximately 10 cm away from the tap or shower.

・When washing handset, make sure to securely close SIM

Card/SD Card Slot Cover. Do not use a brush or sponge.
Drain and the use handset after washing.

Using handset at a poolside

・Do not get water from a pool on handset or soak it in pool

water.

Maintaining Water Resistance/

Dustproof Performance

Observe the following to avoid water or dust ingress.

・Do not get any liquid other than room temperature tap

water on handset, or soak it in such liquid.

・Firmly close SIM Card/SD Card Slot Cover. Even a fine

particle (one hair, one grain of sand, tiny fiber, etc.) put
between the port contact surfaces may allow water or dust
to ingress.

・Do not push Earpiece/Speaker, Mic, Speaker, Second Mic, USB

Type-C Port, or Headset Jack with a sharp-pointed object.

・Do not let handset fall. Scratch on handset may degrade

water resistance/dustproof performance.

・Rubber gaskets on inner side of SIM Card/SD Card Slot Cover

play important roles for water resistance/dustproofing.
Do not remove or damage them. Also, prevent dust from
adhering onto them.

Precautions

Do not perform the following actions.
-Washing with Soap/Detergent/Bath powder
-Washing using brush/sponge
-Machine-washing
-Applying strong water flow
-Soaking in ocean water
-Using in hot spring
-Exposing to sand/mud
Observe the following precautions to use handset properly.

・Do not apply water flow stronger than allowed directly from

a tap or shower. Handset provides IPX5 water resistance,
but doing so may cause malfunction.

・If handset gets wet with salt water, sea water, beverage,

or mud or sand adheres, wash it immediately. If they dry,
they become hard to remove and may cause damage or
malfunction.

・Do not put in hot water, use in a sauna or apply hot airflow

(from a hair dryer etc.).

・Do not move handset in water or slam handset against

surface of water.

・Soaking handset in tap water should be no more than 30

minutes.

・For using handset at a swimming pool, obey rules of the

facility.

・Handset does not float on water.
・Do not let water remain on handset. In cold region, water

freezes up and may cause malfunction.

・Do not allow water to remain in the Earpiece/Speaker, Mic,

Speaker, Second Mic, USB Type-C Port, or Headset Jack. Such
water may interfere with calls or get clothes or bag wet.

・If handset gets splashed with water or other liquid while

SIM Card/SD Card Slot Cover is opened, seepage may occur
resulting in electric shock or malfunction. In that case, stop
using and power off handset, then contact a SoftBank Shop

・Do not connect earphones, etc. to handset that is wet with

water. May cause malfunction.

・Do not use USB Type-C Port or Headset Jack if wet or

dirty/dusty. May affect water/dust resistance, or may cause
electric shock and short-circuiting, resulting in malfunction,
burns, or fire.

・Do not leave handset in a humid place for a long time. Take

handset out from bathroom after using.
