Water/Dust/Shock Resistance

Handset has waterproof ratings equivalent to IPX5 and IPX7

and dustproof rating equivalent to IP5X (Back Cover and Card

Slot Cap completely secure). Handset is also provided with

shock resistance complying with military standards (SoftBank

testing). Specifically, handset can be used in rain (less than

20 mm per hour) without an umbrella. Handset can also be

used in bathrooms, kitchens, at poolside, and other places

with water.

* For details, see "In Various Environments."

However, failure to observe precautions given here may allow

water, sand, foreign particles, etc. to enter handset and

may cause overheating, ignition, electric shock, scratches,

malfunction, etc. For safe handset use, first read precautions

here.



IPX5 equivalent

Handset continues to function as a phone after being sprayed

from all directions with 12.5 liters of water per minute from

a 6.3 mm diameter nozzle for at least 3 minutes, from a

distance of approximately 3 meters.



IPX7 equivalent

Handset continues to function as a phone without water

intrusion after being slowly immersed in still tap water of

room temperature to a depth of 1 meter, and left there for

approximately 30 minutes before being removed again.



IP5X equivalent

Handset will maintain a certain level of functionality and

safety even after particulates in dustproof testing (dia. 75μm

or less) have entered handset.



Compliance with Military Standards

Although drop testing in compliance with MIL-STD-810G

Method 516.6：Shock-Procedure IV as stipulated by the US

Department of Defense (product dropped in 26 directions

onto plywood (lauan) from a height of 1.22 m), this is not a

guarantee with regard to all types of shock.

* As handset is designed with shock resistance in everyday

usage, handset may break if subjected to excessive impact

such as being thrown against something. Dropping may

produce scratches, etc. even if handset performance is

unaffected.

Before Use

・Close Card Slot Cap securely and attach Back Cover firmly to

prevent water intrusion.

Confirm that Cap and Cover are completely secure so that

there are no gaps.

・Particles (hair, sand, etc.) lodged between joining surfaces

may allow water intrusion.

・DO NOT open/close Card Slot Cap or attach/remove Back

Cover if hands/handset is wet.

Shared Precautions

・Close Card Slot Cap firmly after confirming rubber seal

is correct location. Also attach Back Cover firmly. Lodged

particles, no matter how small (lint, a single hair, grain of

sand, etc.), may allow water intrusion.

・Do not insert pointed object between Card Slot Cover and

handset. May scratch seal and allow water to enter.

・Do not open or close Card Slot Cover while wearing gloves.

Lodged particles (lint, hair, sand, etc.) from glove may allow

water intrusion.

・Check handset and hands for moisture, sand, grime, etc.

before opening or closing Card Slot Cap or attaching/

removing Back Cover. May enter handset or become lodged in

Cap or Cover, resulting in malfunction or water intrusion. If

moisture, sand, grime, etc. is visible, no matter how small,

first wipe handset and hands with lint-free clean, dry cloth

before handling.

・Do not leave handset wetted. Water may enter from gaps.

May also reduce volume. If wetted, shake handset, and

promptly remove as much water as possible with a lint-free

clean, dry cloth. In cold regions, handset may freeze and

cause malfunction.

・Handset is waterproof for only for fresh water/tap water.

Not waterproof for hot water, salt water, soap water,

chemicals, sweat, etc. If exposed to other types of moisture

or sand/mud/etc., promptly wash off with room temperature

tap water. Wash using hands (do not use brush) and hold

Back Cover/Card Slot Cap secured.

* Somewhat low water pressure (6 or less liters per minute)

・Do not expose to strong water pressure (e.g., tap/shower

water that hurts) above rating (IPX5, IPX7) or immerse for

extended period.

・Do not wash in a washing machine, ultra-sonic washing

machine, etc.

・Do not subject to strong shock while submersed (e.g., drop

into basin, toilet, washing machine with water).

・Handset accessories are not water-, dust-, or shock-

resistant.

・Do not insert pointed objects in holes of Mic, Earpiece,

Speaker, External Device Port, or Noise Cancel Mic.

・Rubber seal on back of Card Slot Cap is vital to

waterproofing/dustproofing. Observe the following.
