Before you use your device, please read the
Important
Information
provided in your device regarding warranty,
safety and handling information.
Protecting your device from water
and dust
Your device has IP (Ingress Protection) ratings of IP65 and
IP68. These ratings mean that your device is dust tight 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.
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
.
After using your device in water, wait for the USB port to
dry before you insert a cable into the port.
