■
Precautions common to the main unit, internal battery, charging equipment, au Micro IC
Card (LTE), peripheral devices
●
Do not apply excessive force to the product during use. Be sure not to put the product into a tightly packed bag or place
a heavy object on the product in a bag. Sitting on the product in your pocket might damage the display or internal circuit
board resulting in a malfunction.
Keeping an external device connected to the external connection might damage the connector resulting in a malfunction.
Such damage and malfunction are not covered by the warranty, even if there is no external damage.
●
Do not use the product in extremely hot, cold or humid places. (Use within an ambient temperature range of 5
O
C to 35
O
C
and humidity range of 35% to 85%.)
●
Do not use in places subject to lots of dust or vibration.
●
Clean the connection terminals with dry cotton swabs, etc. every now and then. Soiled terminals might cause poor
connection. Do not exert a strong force to clean the connection terminals to prevent deformation.
●
Clean the product with a dry soft cloth (such as the type used for eyeglasses). Forceful rubbing with a dry cloth may
scratch the display. Drops of water or dirt left on the display may cause stains. Wiping the product using alcohol, thinner,
benzine, detergent, etc. might erase the printing on the outer casing or cause discoloration.
●
Use as far away as possible from land-line phones, TVs and radios. Use nearby might affect them.
●
The product may become warm while charging or communicating, depending on the situation, but this is not abnormal.
Note that there are times when it comes to use the product in a bag or bag heat up, the temperature of the product is
increased.
●
When the product is used by a child, parents or guardians should thoroughly read the “Instruction Manual” and teach the
child how to use it.
■

leads, etc.) to come into contact with or get inside the connection terminals. Doing so might cause fire, burns, a
fault due to heat generation.
When using a metal accessory etc., take sure not to allow the metal part come in contact with the connection
terminals or power outlet. Doing so might cause electric shock, ignition, injury or a fault.
The customer is not allowed to disassemble, modify or repair the product. Doing so might cause a fault, ignition,
electric shock, or injury. The Company is not liable even in the event of any nonconformities arising on the product

WARNING
Be sure to read the following warnings before use.
Do not drop or subject to strong impact, such as dropping and throwing. Doing so might cause rupture, overheating,
ignition, or a fault.
Do not use outside when you can hear thunder. Doing so might risk lightning strikes and electric shock.
Do not let your hands, fingers and other parts of the body touch the connection terminals. Doing so might cause
electric shock, injury or a fault.
If the product is damaged because it is dropped or something, and its display is cracked or internal parts are
exposed, do not touch the cracked display or exposed parts with your hands. Doing so might cause electric shock or
injury from damaged parts. Contact an au shop or Secure cell phone support center.
If the wet product is charged, electric shock, short circuit, or corrosion may occur and overheating may cause fire,
malfunction or burns.
Do not splash with water or other liquids. Also, never use in places subject to direct splashing with water or pet urine,
etc. or in humid places such as bath areas, or use with wet hands. Doing so might cause electric shock or fault from
short-circuiting or corrosion of electronic circuits. In the event that the product is splashed with liquid, immediately
disconnect the specified charger's power plug and external device. Faults caused by wetting with water or humidity
are not covered by the warranty and charges will be incurred for repair.
Do not operate the product while driving an automobile or motorized bicycle, riding a bicycle or walking. Doing so
may compromise traffic safety and cause an accident.
If charging is not completed after the specified charging time, stop charging. Failure to do so might cause leakage
of liquid, overheating, rupture or ignition.
Do not leave in places within the reach of small children. Small children might swallow small parts, etc. by mistake
and choke on them, or might drop them by mistake and cause accidents or injury.
CAUTION
Be sure to read the following cautions before use.
Do not store the product in places subject to direct sunlight (e.g. in automobiles), places that get hot, places that
get extremely cold, and in humid or dusty places. Doing so might cause overheating, ignition, deformation or a
fault.
Do not leave on unstable places such as rocky stands or tilting surfaces. Dropping the product may cause injury or
damage. Also, pay sufficient attention to impact, etc.
Do not cover or wrap the product with bedding, etc. while using or charging the product. Doing so might cause fire,
a fault or injury.
Do not touch the main unit or specified charger for a long time while power is being supplied from an external
source. Doing so might cause low-temperature burns.
The product may become hot by prolonged use especially in high-temperature environment. Be careful when using
the product touching your skin for a long time, as it might cause low-temperature burns.
Do not use power outlets or wiring apparatus beyond its rating. Also, exceeding rating, for example, by connecting
multiple devices to a single power strip might cause overheating and fire.
Do not place near corrosive chemicals or in places where corrosive gas is generated. Doing so might cause a fault
or loss of internal data.
Do not leave or store with the microSD memory card slot cover and Micro IC Card slot cover opened. Doing so
might allow dust or other foreign objects to get inside and cause a fault.
Do not use if there is smoke, abnormal odor or noise, excessive overheating, or other abnormalities. If an
abnormality occurs, disconnect the specified charger from the power outlet if you are charging the battery, make
sure that the product is not overheating before turning the power off, and contact an au shop or Secure cell phone
support center. If you have dropped or damaged the product, do not continue to use it in that state, and contact an
au shop or Secure cell phone support center.
