•

with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized

•

water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh
water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If
the device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh
water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately
and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it
as instructed may cause the device to suffer from
operability or cosmetic issues.

Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.

•

If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the

•

water and dust resistant features of the device may
be damaged.
