your device in salt water or let the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot, the memory
card slot, or the headset jack come in contact with salt water. Also, never expose the
device to any liquid chemicals, or to moist environments with extreme high or low
temperatures. The waterproof characteristic of the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot,
the memory card slot, and the headset jack is not guaranteed in all environments or
conditions. After using the device in water, dry off the areas around the micro USB
port cover, the micro SIM slot cover, the memory card slot cover, and the headset
jack.
If the speaker, microphone, or headset jack get wet, dry these areas and wait for three
hours before using them again. You can, however, use other features on the device
that do not utilize the speaker or microphone.
All compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, hands-free devices, and
micro USB cables, are not waterproof and dust-resistant on their own.
Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use of
your device. If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer to
our Customer support service for help.
IP (Ingress Protection) rating
Your device has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to measure
its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP rating
indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The second digit
indicates how resistant the device is to water. The higher the numbers, the higher the
respective protection.
Your device is waterproof and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection
ratings IP55 and IP58 (see details below). These ratings mean that your device is dust
resistant and is protected against low-pressure water streams, as well as against the
effects of submersion for 30 minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 meters deep.
You can therefore use the device in dusty environments, when your fingers are wet,
and in extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining, or when
humidity levels are high. See the table below for more details.
