Prohibited
Do not store the product in places subject to direct sunlight
(e.g. in automobiles), places that get hot, places that get
extremely cold, and in humid or dusty places. Doing so
might cause overheating, deformation or a fault.
Prohibited
Do not place the product on top of a wobbly table, sloped
surface, or other unstable location, and do not charge
when placed unstably. Doing so may allow the product to
fall and cause injury or damage. Be careful especially

Safety Precautions
Prohibited
The product may become hot when used for a long period
or when connected to an external power supply. Avoid
contact with the product and specified charger for long
periods. Failure to do so may cause low-temperature
burns.
Do not cover with paper, clothing, bedding, etc. Doing so
may cause fire, injury, or a fault.
Prohibited
When charging the product, do not exceed the ratings
given for outlets and wiring. Exceeding ratings for power
strips, etc. might cause overheating and result in fire.
Prohibited
Do not use with the back cover removed. Do not leave or
store in that manner. Doing so may allow dust or other
foreign matter to enter and cause a fault.
Prohibited
Do not place near corrosive chemicals or in places where
corrosive gas is generated. Doing so might cause a fault
or loss of internal data.
Prohibited
Do not leave or store the product with its back cover
removed. Doing so might allow dust or other foreign
particles to enter and cause malfunction.
Instruction
Stop use if there is smoke, abnormal odor or noise,
excessive overheating, or other abnormalities. During
charging, disconnect the specified charger (sold
separately) from the power outlet or the socket, make sure
that the product is not overheating before turning the
power off, remove the battery pack and contact an au
shop or Keitai Guarantee Service Center. Also, if you have
dropped or damaged the product, do not continue to use
it in that state, and contact an au shop or Keitai Guarantee
Service Center.
Instruction
When inserting an earphone, etc. into the product, adjust
the volume to the proper level by increasing it gradually.
Suddenly turning the sound on with the volume set too
high, too loud a volume or using the earphone continuously
for a long period of time might adversely affect your ears.
Also, raising the volume too high might prevent you from
hearing sounds around you, which might in turn lead to a
traffic accident at a railroad crossing or pedestrian
crossing.
Instruction
When using handsfree call, take care to keep the speaker
at a safe distance from your ears, as the speaker volume
may be too loud.
Instruction
When small children use the equipment, have the guardian
teach them the proper handling procedures so as to avoid

Safety Precautions
Prohibited
Do not bring the product close to magnetized objects such
as cash cards, floppy disks, credit cards, and prepaid
cards. Doing so might result in loss of recorded
information.

knife blades, staples, and other metal objects sometimes
become stuck to the main unit, and cause unexpected
injury.
Prohibited
Do not put the product directly on sand at a beach, etc.
Sand or other small particles might get inside the earpiece,
mouthpiece, speaker causing the volume to drop. If sand
gets inside the product, it might cause overheating or a
fault.
Battery Pack
(The battery pack of the product is a lithium-ion battery.)
The battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge
the battery before using the product. Also charge the battery after

Safety Precautions
Disassembly
prohibited
Do not disassemble, modify or directly solder the battery
pack. Doing so might cause battery fluid to spurt, causing
blindness if entering eyes, etc. or causing overheating,
ignition, rupture, or injury.
Prohibited
Do not use a battery pack that has been dropped, stepped
on, damaged, or that is leaking battery fluid. Doing so
might cause overheating, ignition, leakage, malfunction, or
injury. Immediately move the battery pack away from fire if
you notice leakage of fluid or unusual odor. Failure to do
so might cause the leaked fluid to catch fire resulting in
ignition or rupture.
Wetting with
water prohibited

immediately and seek medical attention. Wipe away
battery fluid on the product without directly touching fluid.
Instruction
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the performance
of a battery pack does not recover (e.g. the usable time
after each charge has become extremely short), the
battery pack is at the end of service life, so stop use and
buy a new one of the specified type. Failure to do so might
cause overheating, ignition, rupture or leakage. Note that
the length of service life varies depending on the usage
condition, etc.
Instruction
Be careful not to let a pet bite the battery pack.
Letting it do so might cause leakage, overheating, rupture,
ignition, fire, injury, etc.
