(Important) About the Waterproof/

Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance of this unit Waterproof/Dustproof Performance This units waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the IP68 rating. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly followed, this unit can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 1.5 m (5 feet) for a time not exceeding 30 minutes. *1 Anti-shock Performance This unit has cleared a test conducted by Panasonic, which complies with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock (a drop test performed from a height of 1.5 m (5 feet) onto 3 cm

(1.2 q) thick plywood). *2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.

*1 This means that this unit can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.

*2 MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm, at 26 orientations

(8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices.) Panasonics test method is based on the above MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock. However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm to 150 cm dropping onto 3 cm (1.2 q) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.

(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.) Handling of this unit Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or dropped etc. If an impact to this unit occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by a Panasonics Service Centre to verify that the waterproofing is still effective. The waterproof performance may be degraded due to the strong water pressure when this unit is When this unit is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun screen, used deeper than 1.5 m (5 feet) underwater. chemical, etc., wipe it off immediately.
