differ from what appears on your phone.
Feature overview
Water resistance
The CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE is water resistant. It
provides reliable performance for outdoor activities, and in wet
conditions such as driving rain or high humidity.
The tested device meets the requirements of the MIL-STD-810G (Rain &
immersion 1m, 30min) standard.
Warning!
The Water Resistance feature does not guarantee protection
against the usage of this device underwater. Do not use the phone
underwater.
NOTES
To maintain water resistance:
• Securely close the Charging/Data Port cover and the Headset Jack
cover.
• Do not use earphones underwater. Defects or damage resulting
from underwater usage are not covered by warranty.

Getting Started with Your Phone
• If the CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE body is wet, shake to
drain excess water.
• When the CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE body is wet,
water can seep into the gaps of the microphones, sensors and
other locations. If the product was exposed to water, your clothes

Shock resistance
The rugged construction of the CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G LTE
provides outstanding shock and vibration resistance. The tested device
meets the requirements of the MIL-STD-810G (Drop 1.5m) standard.
Warning!
The shock and vibration resistance features do not guarantee
protection against every type of shock and vibration. Your phone may
be damaged or malfunction depending on the severity of the shock
or vibration.
Dust resistance
For additional peace of mind, the CASIO G’zOne COMMANDO™ 4G
LTE is also dust resistant. The device was tested using silica flour at a
temperature of 95°F and meets the MIL-STD-810G (dust) standard.
NOTES
• Your phone can be rinsed with clean water when dirty. To ensure
water resistance, make sure that all covers are securely closed
before rinsing.

with a dry cloth or cotton swab. Dust can cause electrical
connection problems. Avoid wiping with excessive force, which can
damage the terminals.
