This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress
Protection rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled

environment and shown to be water and dust

fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft
cloth. If the device is exposed to any liquid other
than fresh water, rinse the device with fresh water
immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean,
soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water
and dry it as instructed may cause the device to
suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.
• Do not expose the device to water at high

pressure, such as ocean waves or a waterfall.
• If the device is dropped or receives an impact,

the water and dust resistant features of the device
may be damaged.
• The touchscreen and other features may not work

properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids.
