others, damage the phone, make inadvertent emergency calls, or make other calls that may
impact your Boost account.
Water Resistance
Your Hydro is water-resistant. To ensure that your device maintains water resistance, the
following precautions must be observed.

such as in a bathroom or near a kitchen
