Handling Precautions
!SoftBank is not liable for damages from accidental loss/
alteration/repair of handset/Memory Card information
(Phone Book entries, image/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 Memory 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.
Observe the following in medical facilities. Handset
radio waves may affect electronic medical equipment.
• Do not take handset into operating rooms, Intensive
Care Units or Coronary Care Units.
• Turn off handset inside hospital wards. If auto
power-on functions such as Alarm are set,
deactivate settings then turn off handset.
• 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. If auto power-on
functions such as Alarm are set, deactivate settings
then turn off handset.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac
pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator operations.

manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handset when tested for use
at the ear is 0.379 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.318 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the handset kept 1.5 cm from the
body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,
use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the handset. The use of
beltclips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain
metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may
not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be
avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information
on this model handset is on file with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after
searching on FCC ID UCE208008A. Additional information on
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at
