There is a risk of being struck by lightning and suffering electric
shock.
Do not short-circuit charging terminals.
May result in fire, electric shock, equipment malfunction or bodily
injury.
Use In-Car Charger in vehicles with a negative (-) earth.
Do not use In-Car Charger if vehicle has a positive (+)
earth.
May cause fire.
Unplug AC Charger during periods of disuse.
May cause electric shock, fire or malfunction.
If In-Car Charger fuse blows, always replace it with
specified fuse.
Using the incorrect fuse may cause fire or malfunction. Refer to
the respective manuals for information on the correct fuse
specifications.
If liquid such as water or pet urine get into charger,
unplug it immediately.
May cause electric shock, smoke emission or fire.
Wipe off any dust on the plug.
May cause fire.

Caution
Always unplug charger before cleaning it.
May result in electric shock.
Pull charger (not cord) to unplug charger.
Pulling on the cord may damage the cord and cause electric shock
or fire.
Do not charge battery if it is wet.
May cause battery to overheat, catch fire or explode.
Near Electronic Medical Equipment
Warning
This section is based on "Guidelines on the Use of Radio
Communications Equipment such as Cellular Telephones and
Safeguards for Electronic Medical Equipment" (Electromagnetic
Compatibility Conference, April 1997) and "Report of
Investigation of the Effects of Radio Waves on Medical
Equipment, etc." (Association of Radio Industries and Businesses,
March 2001).
If you use an implantable cardiac pacemaker or
cardioverter defibrillator, keep handset more than 22 cm
away from the implant at all times.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac pacemaker or
cardioverter defibrillator operations.
Observe the following in medical facilities.
Do not take handset into operating rooms, Intensive Care Units
or Coronary Care Units.
Turn off handset inside hospital wards.
Turn off handset even outside hospital wards (in hospital
lobbies, etc.); electronic medical equipment may be in use
nearby.
Where a medical facility has specific instructions prohibiting the
carrying and use of mobile phones, observe those instructions
strictly.
•
•
•
•
Turn off handset in crowded places such as rush hour
trains; implantable cardiac pacemakers or cardioverter
defibrillators may be in use nearby.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac pacemaker or
cardioverter defibrillator operations.
Persons using electronic medical equipment outside
medical facilities should consult the vendor about
possible radio wave effects.
Handset radio waves may affect electronic medical equipment
operations.

Handling Precautions
General Notes
SoftBank is not liable for damages from accidental loss/
alteration of handset/microSD Card information (Phone Book
entries, images/sound files, etc.). Back-up important
information.
Handset transmissions may be disrupted inside buildings,
tunnels or underground, or when moving into/out of such
places.
Use handset without disturbing others.
Handsets are radios as stipulated by the Radio Law. Under the
Radio Law, handsets must be submitted for inspection upon
request.
Handset use near landlines, TVs or radios may cause
interference.
Read microSD card manual beforehand for proper use.
Beware of eavesdropping.
Digital signals reduce interception, however transmissions may be
overheard. Deliberate/accidental interception of communications
constitutes eavesdropping.
"eavesdropping" means radio communication is received by another
receiver deliberately or accidentally.
Electromagnetic Waves
For body worn operation, this mobile phone has been tested
and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
containing no metal and positioning the handset a minimum
15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines.

European RF Exposure Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.502 W/ kg*. As
mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide**. In this
case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.402 W/kg. As SAR is measured
utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this
device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due
to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only
uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing.

worn operation.
