Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress
Protection rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust
resistant in certain circumstances (meets
requirements of classication IP67 as described
by the international standard IEC 60529 Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures
[IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106
kPa, 1.0 meters, for 30 minutes). Despite this
classication, your device is not impervious to
water damage in any situation. It is important that
all compartments are closed tightly.
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered
your device components or an internally
sealed system, this condition will void your
device warranty.
19
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to
the device.
Any device which uses accessible
•
compartments or ports that can be opened
should have these sealed or closed tightly
to prevent liquid from entering the system.
Whenever your device gets wet, dry it
•
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not expose the device to salt water or
•
ionized water, or to water over 1.0 meters 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.
The touchscreen and other features may not
•
work properly if the device is used in water or
in other liquids. [071516]
