Safety Precautions
■Battery
■AC Charger
If Display or camera lens is damaged, be careful of
broken glass pieces or exposed internal components.
The shatter-proof film prevents Display/camera lens from
shattering; however touching broken glass edges and exposed
pieces may cause injury.
Before using handset (calls, mail, camera, games,

surroundings and make sure that the intended use is
safe and appropriate.
Failure to do so may result in falls or accidents.
Do not turn on the light near a person's eyes. Do not
look directly into the light and do not point the light
at another person's eyes.
This may cause impaired eyesight and other injury. In particular,
do not take pictures of infants at very close range.
Do not point the light at the driver of a vehicle.
This may interfere with proper operation of the vehicle and lead
to accidents.
In very rare cases, stimulation by strong light or
flashing images may lead to symptoms such as
convulsive fits or temporary loss of
consciousness. If you have experienced such
symptoms in the past, consult a physician before
using the handset.
Do not use a battery that has been subject to strong
external force or shock (such as being dropped or
stepped on).
Continuing use may cause battery to leak, overheat, rupture or
ignite; or may cause malfunction or fire.
If you notice an unusual odor, overheating,
discoloration, deformation, etc. while using,
charging or storing battery, carefully remove it from
handset, and contact SoftBank Customer Center,
Customer Assistance (see page 14-48).
Continuing use may cause battery to leak, overheat, rupture or
ignite.

unplugging AC Charger from AC outlet.
Pulling the cord may damage the cord, resulting in electric
shock or fire.
Unplug the power plug from AC outlet if handset is
not used for an extended period of time.
Failing to do so may cause electric shock, fire or malfunction.
Protect AC Charger from water, pet urine, and other
fluids. If water or other fluid gets into AC Charger,
immediately unplug it from AC outlet.
Failing to do so may cause AC Charger to overheat, ignite, emit
smoke, or may cause electric shock or fire.
Never use AC Charger in humid places such as in
bathrooms.
May cause electric shock and malfunction.
Unplug AC Charger from AC outlet before cleaning.

・Turn off mobile phones in hospital wards.
・Turn off mobile phones in lobbies if there is electronic medical
equipment nearby.
・Observe the instructions of individual medical institutions and
do not use or bring mobile phones into prohibited areas.
・Disable the auto power-on function before turning off mobile
phones.
Keep handset power off in crowded places such as
crowded trains; persons with implanted cardiac
pacemakers or implanted defibrillators may be
nearby.

cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrillators.

xiv
Safety Precautions
■Handset, Battery, AC Charger, USIM Card & Stereo
Earphone Conversion Cable
If you use an implanted cardiac pacemaker or
implanted defibrillator, carry and use handset at a
distance of at least 22 centimeters from the
implanted area.
Radio waves may interfere with the operation of implanted
cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrillators.
When using electronic medical equipment other than
implanted cardiac pacemakers or implanted
defibrillators outside of medical institutions (for
home treatment, etc.), consult with the individual
medical device manufacturer or distributor about the
possible influence of radio waves.
Radio waves may interfere with the operation of electronic
medical equipment.
Do not place handset on a slope or unstable surface.
Protect handset from shocks.
May cause handset to fall resulting in injury or malfunction. Be
especially careful when vibrator function of handset is enabled.

Accidental swallowing may lead to suffocation and injury.
Be careful when using handset for an extended
period of time with AC Charger connected.
Handset, battery and charger (sold separately) may become
warm if you operate handset for an extended period of time
while charging. Prolonged contact with warm devices may
cause redness, itching, irritation or low-temperature burns.
Do not exceed maximum ratings for outlets, cables,

General Notes
Usage Basics
●As handset uses radio waves, it cannot be used where signals are weak or when it is out of service area. If you move to a place with
poor signal reception (e.g. beside/inside a building, in a tunnel, underground or mountain area), calls may be suddenly cut off.
●Take care not to disturb other people when using handset in public places.
●If you receive a call while walking, move to a safe place before answering.
●SoftBank accepts no liability for any damages resulting from loss or alteration of data stored on your handset or microSD¥Memory
Card. Back up important data such as Phone Book entries and image/sound files.
●Handset is a wireless station under Japanese Radio Law. You may be requested to submit your handset for inspection based on this law.
●Be aware of eavesdropping. Handset employs a digital signal that provides a high level of privacy protection. However, the possibility
of eavesdropping by a third party using special means cannot be ruled out.
*Eavesdropping:
Interception of radio signals by a third party during communication, either intentionally or accidentally
●Before watching TV on handset, move to a well-lit place and maintain adequate distance from Display to protect your eyesight.
●Make sure strap or other objects do not get trapped when closing handset; may cause malfunction or damage handset.
●Keep a separate record of data you saved to handset. SoftBank accepts no liability for any loss of data stored on your handset.
