Water resistant performance of this headset
- The water resistant specifications(*) of this headset are equivalent to IEC60529 “Degrees of protection against ingress of water (IP Code)” IPX5(**) that specifies as “Degrees of protection against ingress of water.”
- Do not aim pressurized water at internal parts that emit sound, as doing so may compromise waterproof performance.
- Do not drop the headset into water, and do not use underwater.
- Water entering the headset may cause fire, electric shock, or a malfunction.
- The micro-USB port cover is important for maintaining water resistance performance. Make sure the micro-USB port cover is closed securely when you use the headset. If the cover has any foreign objects on it or is not completely closed, water resistance performance cannot be maintained. In addition, water may get into the headset and cause malfunctions.
