General Notes
Usage Basics
•Wi-Fi router transmissions may be disrupted inside buildings,
tunnels, or underground, or when moving into/out of such
places.
•Use Wi-Fi routers without disturbing others. Theaters and public
transportation systems may or may not allow use of Wi-Fi router.
•Wi-Fi routers are radios as stipulated by the Radio Law. Under
the Radio Law, Wi-Fi router must be submitted for inspection
upon request.
•Files may be lost or damaged in the following situations.
SoftBank Mobile is not liable for damages incurred due to lost or
altered information. To minimalize damages, back up data and
store separately.
•When using Wi-Fi router incorrectly.
•When affected by static electricity or electrical noise.
•Powering Wi-Fi router off while in use...
•When Wi-Fi router breaks down or is submitted for repair.
•The Ordinance of the Ministry Specifying Goods and
Technologies Pursuant to Provisions of the Appended Table 1 of
the Export Trade Control Order and the Appended Table of the
Foreign Exchange Order documents might be needed depending
on what kinds of devices are taken overseas, but if Wi-Fi router
is taken abroad on trips or short business trips for personal
usage, they essentially are not needed when bringing it back in.
However, if Wi-Fi router is used by other individuals or handed
over to them, an export license may be required.
In addition, if Wi-Fi router is taken to countries (Cuba, North
Korea, Iran, Sudan and Syria) which are subject to U.S.
government stipulated export restraints, then U.S. government
export licenses might be required.
For details on the particulars of regulations for export laws and
ordinances and procedures visit the Ministry of Economy, Trade
and Industry’s Security Export Control Division’s website.
•Do not use Wi-Fi router in the proximity of areas where
explosive materials are handled. An explosion may be induced.
In addition, explosive devices might be affected.
•Wi-Fi router USIM Card cannot be used with some mobile devices
(including SoftBank models).
•If Wi-Fi router is used for a long time or while charging, Wi-Fi
router may become hot.
•Prolonged contact with skin may cause burn injuries.
•AC Adapter may become hot while charging.
Aboard Aircraft
•Radio waves may impair aircraft operations; power off Wi-Fi
router while aboard aircraft. If Wi-Fi router use is allowed,
follow the instructions of airline personnel.
Handling
•Do not expose Wi-Fi router to rain, snow, or high humidity. Wi-Fi
router is not waterproof.
• Avoid extreme temperatures/direct sunlight/dusty areas.
•Do not drop or subject Wi-Fi router to shocks.
•Clean Wi-Fi router with soft dry cloth. In addition do not
use alcohol nor thinners since their use may fade colors and
lettering.

xii
Wi-Fi (WLAN)
■Precautions
•Do not use Wi-Fi (WLAN) near magnetic devices such as electrical
appliances or AV/OA devices, or where there are electromagnetic
waves.
•Magnetism or electrical noise may increase noise or disable
communications (especially when using a microwave oven).
•Wi-Fi router use near TV, radio, etc., may cause interference.
•The target access point may not be detected correctly if there
are multiple access points nearby.
•Wireless Frequencies & Modulations
Wi-Fi frequency information: Inside Wi-Fi router battery cover.
2.4: 2400 MHz range
FH/OF: DSSS or OFDM modulation
4: Maximum interference range of 40 m
: Utilizes 2400 - 2483.5 MHz band with mobile device
•Available channels vary depending on the country.
•For use aboard aircraft, contact the airline beforehand.
If using WLAN abroad, confirm usable frequency, laws and
regulations in that country.
2.4 GHz Device Cautions
Wi-Fi router operates in the same frequency band used by industrial,
scientific, consumer and medical equipment including microwave
ovens, premises radio stations for identifying mobile units used in
the manufacturing lines of plants (radio stations requiring a license),
specifiedlowpowerradiostations(radiostationsrequiringnolicense)
and amateur radio stations (radio stations requiring a license).
1. Before using Wi-Fi router, confirm that on-site wireless base
stations for identifying mobile units, specified low power
radio stations and amateur radio stations are not being
operated nearby.
2. If Wi-Fi router causes disruptive radio interference to
on-site wireless base stations for identifying mobile units,
immediately change frequency band, stop use, move to
another location to avoid crosstalk (e.g. wall partitions, etc.).
■WLAN Usage Security Precautions
Using Wi-Fi router without setting security increases risk of data
interception. Wi-Fi router security is set by default. SoftBank
recommends changing default security settings to enhance data
safety. For more information on security settings, see this guide or
Wi-Fi device guide.
•For assistance with security settings, contact SoftBank Customer
Support P.7-3).
•SoftBank cannot be held liable for WLAN security issues.
