A table containing these products can be found at the end of this section. See Kyocera Tested Products. ● Never apply or spray alcohol directly on the phone as it can lead to damage of the coating and could affect its waterproof capability. ● Never pour liquid detergent directly onto the phone as this may affect the sound quality. If your phone is exposed to a concentrated liquid detergent, rinse it immediately with fresh water. ● Do not expose your phone to water at high pressure, and avoid immersing the phone in water for more than 30 minutes to maintain the waterproof capability. ● Clean by hand only. Do not use a hard brush or sponge as this may damage the surface of the phone and affect phone’s waterproof capability. ● Do not use a washing machine, ultrasonic cleaner, or dishwasher. Doing so may damage the phone and affect the waterproof capability. ● Remove all jewelry to avoid scratching the surface of the phone. ● Do not attempt to clean your phone in extreme cold or hot conditions.
