device, for example, underneath one of the covers, your warranty will be void. Never submerge your device in salt water or let the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot, the memory card slot or the headset jack come in contact with salt water. Also, never expose the device to any liquid chemicals, or to moist environments with extreme high or low temperatures. The waterproof ability of the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot, the memory card slot and the headset jack is not guaranteed in all environments or conditions. After using the device in water, dry off the areas around the micro USB port cover, the micro SIM slot cover, the memory card slot cover and the headset jack.

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.

All compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, handsfree devices and micro USB cables, are not waterproof and dust resistant on their own.

Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use of your device. If you have any further questions about the use of your products, refer to our Customer support service for help.

IP (Ingress Protection) rating

Your device has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to measure its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The second digit indicates how resistant the device is to water. The higher the numbers, the higher the respective protection.

Your device is waterproof and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection ratings IP55 and IP58 (see details below). 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. You can therefore use the device in dusty environments, when your fingers are wet, and in extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high. See the table below for more details.
