» Dry your phone and ports thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth.
» Don’t try to charge your phone when it’s wet.
» Do not expose your phone to salt water or other liquids.
» Do not expose your phone to water at high pressure.
» Do not drop or puncture your device, as this could damage the water repellent features.
Clean your phone
To disinfect your phone:
» Use wipes or cloths moistened with isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of 70% (specific for
electro-electronic products).
» It is recommended that you turn your phone off to clean it.
» Avoid moisture in the phone’s openings, including the charging port, headset jack, microphones,
and speakers.
» Do not immerse the phone in cleaning agents, and do not use cleaning materials that contain
bleach or abrasive agents.
