Don’t
The product may become hot by prolonged use
especially in high-temperature environment. Be careful
when using the product touching your skin for a long
time, as it might cause low-temperature burns.
Don’t
Do not use the product in a car. It may fall or interfere
with driving, which may lead to an accident. The
product is assumed for indoor use in a stable place.
Don’t
Do not leave the product on the oor. It may be
stepped on by mistake or cause a fall, which may lead
to an injury or accident.
Do
When the product is used by a child, guardians should
thoroughly read the "Basic Manual" (this manual) and
teach the child how to use it. In addition, check that
they are using it as directed during use.
Do
Do not use the product if there is smoke, abnormal
odor or noise, excessive overheating, or other
abnormalities. If an abnormality occurs, disconnect the
specied charging equipment (sold separately) from
the power outlet, make sure that the product is not
overheating before turning the power o󱐯 or removing
the battery o󱐯, and contact an au shop or Secure cell
phone support 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 Secure cell phone
support center.

from the outlet, be sure to hold and pull the power
plug. Pulling on the microUSB cable might damage it.
Do
When inserting an earphone, etc. into the product,
adjust the volume to the proper level. Setting too loud
a volume or using the earphone continuously for a
long period of time might adversely a󱐯ect your ears.
Also, raising the volume too high might prevent you
from hearing sounds around you, which might in turn
lead to a tra󱐰c accident at a railroad crossing or
pedestrian crossing.
Do
When adjusting the volume with an earphone, etc.
inserted into the product, raise the volume a little
at a time. If you raise the volume too much from the
outset, sudden loud noise from the earphone, etc.
might adversely a󱐯ect your ears.
Do
When using an charging equipment or external device,
insert/remove the connector straight to/from the
terminal. Make sure the orientation of the connector
is correct. Failure to do so might cause damage or a

re, or rupture.
Don’t
Do not use a battery pack that has been dropped,
stepped on, damaged, or leaking battery liquid.
Immediately move the battery pack away from re if
you notice leakage of liquid or unusual odor. Failure
to do so might cause the leaked liquid to catch re
resulting in re or rupture.
Not liquids
Do not wet the battery pack with water, seawater,
pet urine, etc. Do not charge the battery pack
when it gets wet. A wet battery pack might cause
overheating, rupture, or re. If you drop the product
into water by mistake, immediately turn o󱐯 the power,
remove the battery pack, and contact an au shop or
Secure cell phone support center. Never charge the
wet battery pack.
Do
If the leaked liquid gets on your skin or clothes,
immediately rinse it o󱐯 with water to avoid injury. If the
liquid gets into your eyes, do not rub but wash your
eyes with water, and immediately consult a doctor to
avoid the risk of losing your eyesight. If the liquid gets
on a device, wipe it o󱐯 without touching it.
Do
When removing the battery pack from the product, put
your nger (nail) into the dimples of the product and
pull up the battery pack to remove it. Attempting to
remove the battery pack by inserting a sharp-pointed
object such as a pen might cause ignition or damage.
Do
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 specied type. Failure to do so might cause
overheating, re, rupture, or leakage. Note that the
length of service life varies depending on the usage

Do
Be careful not to have the battery pack bitten by your
pet. It might cause leakage, overheating, or rupture of
