Warning: situations that could cause injury to yourself or others
Caution: situations that could cause damage to your device or other equipment
Note: notes, usage tips, or additional information
Maintaining water and dust resistance
The device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and to maintain the waterand dust-resistant performance of the device.
•Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes.
•Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap, ocean waves, or waterfalls.
•If the device or your hands are wet, dry them thoroughly before handling the device.
•The rubber seal fitted to the SIM card cover is an important component of the device. Take care when opening and closing the SIM card cover to avoid damaging the rubber seal. Also, ensure that the rubber seal is free from debris, such as sand or dust to prevent damage to the device.
•If the device is exposed to freshwater, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the device is exposed to any liquid other than freshwater, rinse the device with freshwater immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device in freshwater and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.
•If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water-and dust-resistant features of the device may be damaged.

•If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or the speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Ensure that the microphone or the speaker is clean and dry by wiping it with a dry cloth.
•The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water or in other liquids.
•Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to be waterand dust-resistant in specific situations (meets requirements of classification 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 metre, 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation.
Overheat precautions
To avoid device malfunction, skin discomfort or damage, and battery draining, an initial warning will appear on the device if it reaches a specific temperature. If the device temperature continues to rise, a second warning will appear, at which time all calls and device functions will be disabled until the device cools down to a specific temperature, except for outgoing emergency calls.
If you are on an emergency call when the second warning appears, the call will remain active until terminated. If the device temperature rises further, a third warning will appear; at this time, the entire device will shut down. Any emergency call that is connected at the time will remain active until you terminate the call. However, no new calls, including emergency calls, may be made until device cools down to a specific temperature.
If you feel discomfort while using the device, stop using it and remove it from your wrist.
