and wireless LAN devices are not guaranteed.
･This product supports security features for wireless communications that are
compliant with the Bluetooth®and wireless LAN standard specifications, but
the security may not be sufficient depending on the usage environment and
configuration. Be careful when making data communication using Bluetooth®
or wireless LAN function.
･Wireless LAN has the advantage that it can be freely connected anywhere
within the radio wave range, as it uses radio waves for exchanging
information. At the same time, there is a risk that a malicious third party may
obtain unauthorized access if security settings have not been configured. You
are recommended to configure security settings before using wireless LAN at
your decision and responsibility.
･The Company assumes no responsibility for leakage of data or information
that may occur during Bluetooth®/wireless LAN communication
･Since Bluetooth®and wireless LAN functions use the same frequency band,
using the both functions at the same may cause radio wave interference
resulting in decreased communication speed or disconnection from the
network. If connection fails, stop using either of the Bluetooth®and wireless
LAN functions.
Bluetooth®and wireless LAN functions of this product use frequencies in the
2.4 GHz band.
●Bluetooth®function: 2.4FH1/XX8
This product uses the 2.4 GHz band. FH1 uses FH-SS as the modulation
scheme. The interference distance is about 10 m or less. XX8 uses another
modulation scheme. The interference distance is about 80 m or less.
●Wireless LAN function: 2.4DS/OF4
This product uses the 2.4 GHz band. DS-SS and OFDM are used as the
modulation schemes. The interference distance is about 40 m or less.
･This means that all bandwidths of 2.4 GHz band can be used, and that bands
of mobile unit identification devices can be avoided.
･Available channels differ depending on the country.
･For use in airplane, check with the airline company in advance.
Wireless LAN function of this product uses 5 GHz band. Using 5.2 GHz band
and 5.3 GHz band outdoors is prohibited by the Radio Law.
The channels used on the product are as follows.
･W52 (5.2 GHz band/36, 40, 44, 48 ch)
･W53 (5.3 GHz band/52, 56, 60, 64 ch)

This model SOL21 mobile phone complies with Japanese technical regulations
and international guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves. This mobile
phone has been designed in observance of the Japanese technical regulations
regarding exposure to radio waves (*1) and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by equivalent international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set out by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration with the
World Health Organization (WHO), and the permissible limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health condition. The Japanese technical regulations and international guidelines
define the limits using a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR), which represents the average amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The
highest SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.608 W/
kg. There may be slight differences in SAR levels among individual products, but
they all satisfy the limit. The actual SAR of this mobile phone while talking on the
phone can be well below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes in
the power level of the mobile phone to ensure it only outputs the minimum power
required to communicate with a base station. Therefore in general, the closer you
are to a base station, the lower the power output of the mobile phone.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than against your ear. This
mobile phone satisfies the international guidelines when used with au Carrying
Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately) recommended by KDDI (*2).
In case you are not using the au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold
separately), use a product that contains no metal parts, and one that can hold the
mobile phone at least 1.5 cm away from your body.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of cell phones
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does
not indicate that use of mobile devices has any harmful effects on the human body.
They recommend that if you are still worried about your exposure then you can limit
your talk time or use a handsfree kit to keep the mobile phone away from your
head and body. If you would like to know more detailed information, please refer to
the WHO website.

*1 Technical regulations are defined by the Ministerial Ordinance Related to
Radio Law (Article 14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
*2 Regarding the method of measuring SAR when using mobile phones in
positions other than against the ear, the international standard IEC62209-2
was set in March 2010. On the other hand, Japanese technical regulation is
currently under deliberation by the Committee for Radio Wave Utilization
Environment set up in the Information and Communication Technology
Group of the Advisory Committee on Information and Communications. (As
of October 2011)
