After the product gets wet
If the product gets wet, drain water, and without removing
the specified back cover, wipe the main unit and specified
back cover with a clean dry cloth.
In cold climates, water on the product may freeze. Using
the product with frozen water on it may cause malfunction.
Do not leave the product without wiping off the water. (No
special measures against condensation have been
implemented in this product.)
Rubber seals
The rubber seal around the specified back cover is
important for maintaining water resistance. Do not damage
or remove the rubber seal.
When closing the specified back cover, take care not to get
the rubber seal caught. Forcibly closing the cover with the
rubber seal caught may damage it resulting in loss of water
resistance. Just a small particle (a hair, a grain of sand,
etc.) on the seal can allow intrusion of water.
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. alcohol) gets on the
rubber seal, it may cause deterioration in durability.
Do not insert sharp objects into gaps around the specified
back cover. Doing so might damage or deform the product
or damage the rubber seal, allow intrusion of water.
It is recommended to replace parts used for maintaining
water resistance once every two years regardless of
whether any abnormality is present. For information on part
replacement, contact an au shop near you.
Charging
Never charge the battery if the product is wet.
The supplied and optional accessories are not water-
resistant.
Water resistance
Do not use the product in places where it may be sprayed
with high-pressure water (e.g. near a faucet or showerhead)
or submerge it in water for extended periods of time, as the
product is not designed to withstand high water pressure.
Also, do not expose the product to a water flow stronger
than the specified flow rate (i.e. 6 liters per minute from a
faucet or showerhead, at which you might even feel pain in
the skin). Doing so might cause a fault, even though the
product has water resistance equivalent to IPX5. Do not
wash the product in a washing machine or ultrasound bath.
The product does not float on water.
Heat resistance
Do not use the product in places where boiling water may
splash on it, in saunas or near hot air (e.g. hairdryer). The
product is not resistant to hot temperatures.
