Important information
Using your accessory in wet and dusty conditions
To ensure the water and dust resistance of your accessory, the cover for the Micro USB port
must be firmly closed.
Your accessory is water and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection
(IP) ratings IP68, as explained in the table below.
These specific IP ratings mean that your accessory is dust resistant and is protected
against the effects of immersion for 30 minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5
metres deep.
You can use your accessory:
• in dusty environments, for example, on a windy beach.
• when your fingers are wet.
• in some extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining.
• in fresh (non-saline) water depths of 1.5 metres or less, for example, in a fresh water
lake or river.
• in a chlorinated swimming pool.
Even if your accessory is resistant to dust and water, you should avoid exposing it
unnecessarily to environments with excessive dust, sand and mud or to moist
environments with extreme high or low temperatures. The water resistance ability of
the Micro USB port cannot be guaranteed in all environments or conditions.
Never immerse your accessory in salt water or let the Micro USB port come in
contact with salt water. For example, if you’re at the beach, remember to keep your
accessory away from the sea water. Also, never expose the accessory to any liquid
chemicals. For example, if you’re washing dishes by hand using liquid detergent,
avoid bringing your accessory in contact with the detergent. After exposure to non-
fresh water, rinse your accessory, especially the cover for the Micro USB port, using
fresh water.
Normal wear and tear along with damage to your accessory can reduce its ability to
resist dust or moisture. After using the accessory in water, dry off the areas around
the cover for the Micro USB port.
The GPS tracking accuracy may be affected by condensation building up between
the device and the user’s wrist. To avoid such an impact, regularly check for and
clean away any moisture.
If the microphone gets wet, its function may be impacted until the water has
completely dried. Please note that the drying time can be up to 3 hours depending on
the environment. During this time, you can, however, use other features of the
accessory that do not utilise the microphone. All compatible accessories, including
chargers and Micro USB cables, are not water and dust resistant on their own.
Your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use
of your accessory (including use in environments where the relevant IP rating
limitations are exceeded). If you have any further questions about the use of your
products, refer to our Customer support service for help.
IP (Ingress Protection) rating
Your accessory has an IP rating, which means it has undergone certified tests to
measure its resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP
rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including dust. The
second digit indicates how resistant the device is to water.
