Waterproofing your Kobo eReader Your Kobo Aura H2O can be submerged in 1 metre (just over 3 feet) of fresh water for up to 30 minutes if you follow these instructions. Your eReader has a port cover on the bottom to protect the Micro USB and Micro SD slots from water. To waterproof your eReader, you must close the port cover firmly, as shown in the illustration above. If the port cover isn't firmly closed, your eReader will malfunction if it is submerged in water or used in areas with high humidity, and will no longer be covered by any warranty. Your eReader is IP67-certified, which means that it has been tested and certified as waterproof in certain conditions. Here are a few things you should do to avoid damaging your eReader with water, dust, or sand. • Keep the port cover closed when you're in water, or in areas with high humidity, like pools or bathrooms. • Open the port cover only when your eReader and hands are completely dry. • Clear the port cover of sand or dust before closing it. • Avoid exposing your eReader to water moving powerfully, like waterfalls or waves. • Do not charge your eReader in or near water, or in areas with high humidity. • Your eReader does not float. Do not submerge it deeper than 1 metre of water. • Do not submerge your eReader in water for more than 30 minutes. • Be careful not to detach the port cover from your eReader. Using your Kobo eReader around water For the best reading experience, your eReader's screen and your hands should be dry. If the screen gets wet, just wipe it with a dry cloth.
