Protecting your device from water and dust

Your device has IP (Ingress Protection) ratings of IP5X, IPX5 and IPX8. These ratings mean that your device is dust resistant and is protected against low pressure water stream as well as against the effects of submersion for 30 minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 metres deep.
Always firmly attach all covers to ensure the water and dust resistance of the device. If liquid is detected inside the device, for example, underneath one of the covers, your warranty will be void.
If the speaker, microphone or headset jack get wet, dry these areas and wait for three hours before using them again. You can, however, use other features in the device that do not utilise the speaker or microphone.
Before using your device in water and in dusty conditions, refer to the relevant section of the User guide for your device for more detailed information. An online User guide as well as a downloadable version is available at www.sonymobile.com/support.
