Safety Precautions/Notes on water resistance
• Do not leave the cell phone with wetting on it. Wetting may enter the cell phone
from the hinge or other gap. If the cell phone remains wet, sound quality may
be affected. If wetted with water, remove water such as by shaking the cell
phone (page 20), then quickly wipe away any water on the cell phone with a
lint-free, clean, dry cloth. In cold regions, any water on the main unit may
freeze and result in malfunction.
• The main unit is waterproof only for fresh water/tap water, and is not waterproof
for hot water, salt water, detergent, chemicals, sweat, etc. If exposed to water
other than fresh water/tap water (seawater, detergent, etc.) or sand/mud,
immediately wash off with room temperature tap water*. Wash without a brush
using hands, and hold the battery and external connection jack covers closed.
* Rather weak water flow (less than 6 L/min.)
• The cell phone is not designed to withstand water pressure. Do not expose to
strong water flow exceeding specification (IPX5/IPX7) (e.g., water flow from a
tap/shower strong enough to feel painful) or leave under water for an extended
period.
• Do not wash in a washing machine or ultra-sonic washing machine.
• Do not subject to strong shock while submersed (e.g., do not drop in a water-
filled basin, toilet, or washing machine).
• Apart from the K011, accessories (desktop holder (sold separately), etc.) are
not waterproof.
• Never charge the main unit while it is wet. Charging while the charging
terminals are wet might result in malfunction, overheating, etc.
• Do not poke pointed objects in the holes of the microphone/speaker.
• The rubber seals on the undersides of the cover of the external connection jack
and battery cover are important for maintaining water resistance. Please note
the following.
- Do not remove or scratch.
- Do not allow dirt to adhere to them. An adhering particle (lint, a hair, grain of
sand, etc.), no matter how small, may result in seepage. Always remove any
particles.
- Adherence of liquid other than fresh water/tap water (hot water, salt water,
detergent, chemicals, sweat, etc.) may affect water resistance.
- Take care not to pinch rubber seals when closing covers. Trying to close
covers while seals are pinched may scratch them and affect water
resistance.
- Replacement (at cost) of waterproofing parts regardless of appearance is
recommended every two years. Contact your nearest au shop or Secure cell
phone support center for parts replacement.
• Do not drop or otherwise subject the cell phone to strong shock. May affect
water resistance.
• The K011 does not float in water.
• Do not immerse in hot water, use in a sauna, or expose to hot airflow (hairdryer,
etc.). The cell phone is not designed to withstand heat.
• Use in temperatures between 5°C and 35°C (limited use between 36°C and
40°C) and humidity between 35% and 90%. Use in extremely hot or cold
conditions exceeding these ranges may affect water resistance.
• Sudden temperature change may cause condensation. When moving the main
unit from a cold to warm place (to a bathroom, etc.), move it after allowing it to
reach room temperature. The cell phone is not designed with anti-condensation
features.
* If condensation forms inside the display, leave at room temperature until the
condensation clears away.
• The cell phone has been tested according to assumed use and verified to
meet performance requirements. However, operation under any and all
conditions in actual use is not guaranteed. Repairs will not be covered by
warranty and carried out at cost if malfunction is deemed to be due to
erroneous handling by the customer.
■
When exposed to water
Using the K011 while wetted may allow water to collect in the microphone,
temporarily affecting speaker sound or getting clothing, carrybag, etc. wet. Water
may also enter by gaps in the hinge, charging terminal, etc. Remove water from
the cell phone with the following steps.
