Handling
Avoid impacting the unit against anything, for example, when carrying it by the strap.
Strong impacts can deform the unit’s body and degrade water-resistant performance.
The unit’s water resistance performance will no longer be guaranteed in the
event that the unit has been dropped or otherwise subjected to strong impact
.
Do not leave the unit where exposed to low temperatures of 0 °C (32 °F) and
below or high temperatures of 40 °C (104 °F) and above. (Extreme temperatures
can degrade water-resistant performance.) In particular, do not leave the unit
sitting on sandy beaches. (The unit can become hot and sand can adhere to it.)
Do not insert pointed objects into the microphone or speaker holes. (The
internal water-resistant sheet can be damaged and compromise water-
resistant performance.)
Do not plug the unit in or unplug it with wet hands.
Replacing the water-resistant packing
The performance of the unit’s water-resistant packing degrades over the
course of 18 months or more. It is recommended to have your dealer replace
this packing (you will be charged for this) at least once every 18 months.
