Precautions

・Do not subject handset to soap, detergent, bath powder/oil,

sea/pool/spa water, hot water, etc.

・Rinse off sea/pool water, beverage, dirt, sand, mud, etc.

immediately; residue may cause malfunction if allowed to
dry.

・Rinse off sand, dirt, etc. completely before use; any residue

may damage handset causing malfunction.

・Do not soak handset in bath or pool; never use it in water

(including key operation).

・Handset is not resistant to water pressure. Avoid high-

pressure water/shower (over 6 liters/min.) or water
immersion.

・Do not expose handset to extreme humidity for long

periods; avoid prolonged use in bath/shower rooms.

・Do not use in saunas. Avoid hot air from dryers or other

sources.

・Use handset within 5

C - 35

C (up to 40

C for brief

periods in bathrooms, shower rooms, etc.) and 35% - 90%
humidity.

・Avoid extreme temperature (near stoves, inside

refrigerators, etc.).

・Volume may be low when Mic, Earpiece or Speaker is wet;

dry handset before use (see "

Drying Handset

").

・Optional accessories are not water or dust proof.
・Do not subject handset to strong impact; do not poke Mic,

Earpiece, Speaker, etc. with a cotton swab or sharp object;
water/dust resistance may be affected.

・Avoid placing handset directly on sand. Sand may penetrate

Earpiece, Speaker, etc., resulting in low volume.

・Touchscreen may not respond properly if wet or touched

with wet fingers.

・Do not move handset directly from a cold place to a warm

humid place; condensation may occur. Should this happen,
dry handset naturally at room temperature.

・Handset does not float on water.
・Keep handset out of heavy rain.
・Do not let liquid-exposed handset remain wet; exposure to

cold may freeze liquid causing malfunction.

・Damaged Card Slot Cover, Port Cover or Protective Sheet

affects water/dust resistance; contact a SoftBank Shop.

Charging Precautions

・Charger and optional accessories are not water or dust

proof. Avoid moisture (precipitation, bath/shower, etc.);
may cause fire, electric shock or damage.

・Never charge handset while it is wet; may cause fire or

damage due to electric shock or short circuit.

・Close Port Cover firmly after charging.
・Do not touch Charger with wet hands. Electric shock may

occur.

・Do not use Charger in rooms in which water is regularly in

use (kitchens, bathrooms, shower rooms, etc.); may cause
fire or electric shock.

・Should External Device Port be exposed to liquid, never

charge handset; follow these steps first:
1 Holding handset firmly by its sides, shake it about 20
times
2 Pat against dry cloth to remove moisture from External
Device Port
3 Leave handset on dry cloth for approximately 2 - 3 hours
at room temperature

Care & Maintenance

・Do not peel, damage or subject Protective Sheet to impact;

may affect water/dust resistance.

・Proper care of Card Slot Cover gasket, Port Cover gasket

and Protective Sheet is crucial for continued handset water/
dust resistance. Observe the following:
・Do not remove or damage gaskets/Protective Sheet. Keep
them clean.
・Do not insert sharp objects through Card Slot/Port Cover
gaps or Headphone Port, or under Protective Sheet; may
damage gasket or Protective Sheet and affect water/dust
resistance.
・If Port Cover is damaged or deformed, contact a SoftBank
Shop.

・To maintain water/dust resistance, replace related parts

every 2 years regardless of their condition. Customer-
requested parts replacement incurs fees and requires
handset submission. For details, contact a SoftBank Shop or
SoftBank Customer Support,
