After the product gets wet
After the product gets wet, drain water, and wipe the main unit
with a clean dry cloth.
In cold climates, water on the product may turn to frost. Using
the product with frost may cause a fault. 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 external connection terminal cover
and the card slot cover is important to maintain waterproof
property. Do not damage or remove the rubber seals.
When closing the external connection terminal cover or the card
slot cover, take care not to get the rubber seals caught. Forcibly
closing the cover with the rubber seals caught may damage them
resulting in loss of waterproof property. Just a small particle (a hair,
a grain of sand, etc.) on the seals can cause water leak.
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. alcohol) gets on the
rubber seals, it may cause deterioration in durability.
Do not insert sharp objects into gaps around the external
connection terminal cover and the card slot cover. Doing so
might damage or deform the product or damage the rubber
seals, causing water leak.
It is recommended to replace the parts for maintaining waterproof
property once every two years regardless of whether any
abnormality is present. For information on part replacement,
contact an au shop near you or Keitai Guarantee Service Center.
Charging
Never charge the battery if the product is wet.
The supplied and optional accessories are not waterproof.
Waterproof property
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 a
waterproof property 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.
