by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to
keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.

Handset Water & Dust Resistance
Handset complies with IPX5
1
and IPX8
2
water protection
standards as well as IP5X
3
dust protection standard, with

1
IPX5 compliant means that a handset continues to
function as a phone after being subjected to a water jet
(approximately 12.5 liters/min.) discharged from a nozzle
(inner diameter: 6.3 mm), from all directions (approximately 3
m from handset) for at least 3 minutes.
2
IPX8 compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone after being gently submerged to the depth of
1.5 m in still tap water at room temperature, left there for
approximately 30 minutes, then removed from it.
3
IP5X compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone and its safety is maintained after being agitated in
a device containing dust of 75 μm or smaller in diameter for 8
hours, then removed from the device.
・Water and dust resistance may be affected under some
circumstances. Warranty does not cover malfunctions
resulting from misuse.
・Handset is compliant with IPX5 and IPX8 water protection
standards as well as IP5X dust protection standard.
However, ingress of dirt, sand, mud, metal powder, food,
