(Important) About the Waterproof/ Dustproof

Waterproof/Dustproof Performance

This unit’s waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IP58” rating. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly followed, this unit can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 3.0 m (10 feet) for a time not exceeding 30 minutes. *

This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.

*This means that this unit can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.

Handling of this unit

Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or dropped etc. If an impact to this unit occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by a Panasonic’s Service Center to verify that the waterproofing is still effective.

The waterproof performance may be degraded due to the strong water pressure when this unit is used deeper than 3.0 m (10 feet) underwater.

When this unit is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun screen, chemical, etc., wipe it off immediately.

Do not rinse with running water, such as tap water.

Waterproof function of this unit is for sea water and fresh water only.

Any malfunction caused by customer misuse, or mishandling will not be covered by the warranty.

Cards are not waterproof. Do not handle with a wet hand. Also, do not insert wet card into this unit.

Do not open or close the side cover when your hands are wet or water droplets are present on this unit. Failure to do so may lead to damage such as rusty terminals caused by water droplets.

Foreign objects may adhere to the inner side of the side cover (around the rubber seal or connecting terminals) when the side cover is opened or closed in places with sand or dust etc. If you close the side cover with foreign objects adhering to it, water may enter the inside. Be very careful because doing so may cause malfunctions.

Do not leave this unit for a long period of time in places where temperature is very low (at high altitude etc.) or very high (inside a car under strong sunlight, close to a heater, on the beach, etc.) Waterproof performance may be degraded.

The inside of this unit is not waterproof. Water leakage will cause malfunction.

If any foreign object has adhered to the inner side of the side cover, remove it.

If any liquid such as water droplets has adhered to this unit or inner side of the side cover, wipe off with a soft dry cloth. Do not open or close the side cover near the water, when underwater, using wet hands, or when this unit is wet. It may cause water leakage.

The alert sound and shutter sound may be lowered when using this unit. This is for ensuring the waterproof performance of this unit, and not a malfunction. Opening and closing the side cover will restore the original volume.
