››Maintain your water and dust resistant feature

Your phone offers limited protection against accidental exposure to water in some conditions, but you should never intentionally immerse the phone in water.

Do not expose your phone to high water pressures or any other liquids, such as salt water, ionized water or dirty water.

If the phone gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean soft cloth.

Ensure that all covers are properly aligned and tightly closed.

The back, headset, and multifunction jack covers may be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise, they may not provide protection from water.

Always keep the back cover, headset jack cover, multifunction jack cover, and the area around them clean and be careful to avoid damaging them. If these areas become contaminated, they may not provide protection from dust and water.

Any service performed on the phone may reduce the water and dust protection. Avoid exposing the phone to dust and water if any service has been performed on it.

Exposing the phone to extreme temperatures may reduce the water and dust protection. Use your phone at -20 °C to 50 °C.
