Waterproof'ness

[omalls33]

Seems there's only a few of us with z3+ at the minute so thought I'd start a new thread.

Has anyone tested the waterproof of it yet? I had the z3 compact and used it a few times, but I'm just wondering if anything needs to happen before or after getting this thing wet, taking into account the open USB port?

From the Startup Guide that came with mine:

After using your device in water, it's important that the USB port is completely dry before a USB cable is inserted into it.

Yeah I saw that, but wondering the best way to do it / ensure it is dry!

From the same Guide:

To remove moisture from the USB port, shake your device several times with the USB port facing downwards then use a microfibre cloth to wipe the device dry. If moisture is still visible in the USB port, repeat the shaking and drying procedure.

Just a bit of a trial and error it seems then! Have you submerged yet?

Have you submerged yet?

Of course, science demanded it.
