Warning
This section is based on "Guidelines on the Use of Radio
Communications Equipment such as Cellular Telephones and
Safeguards for Electronic Medical Equipment" (Electromagnetic
Compatibility Conference, April 1997) and "Report of Investigation of
the Effects of Radio Waves on Medical Equipment, etc." (Association
of Radio Industries and Businesses, March 2001).
If you use an implantable cardiac pacemaker or
cardioverter defi brillator, keep handset more than 22 cm
away from the implant at all times.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac pacemaker
or cardioverter defi brillator operations.
Observe the following in medical facilities.
• Do not take handset into operating rooms, Intensive Care Units
or Coronary Care Units.
• Turn off handset inside hospital wards.
• Turn off handset even outside hospital wards (in hospital lobbies,
etc.); electronic medical equipment may be in use nearby.
• Where a medical facility has specifi c 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
defi brillators may be in use nearby.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac pacemaker
or cardioverter defi brillator operations.
Persons using electronic medical equipment outside
medical facilities should consult the vendor about
possible radio wave effects.
Handset radio waves may affect electronic medical equipment
operations.
Handling Precautions
SoftBank is not liable for damages from accidental loss/alteration
of handset/microSD Card information (Phone Book entries, images/
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.

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.

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.
General Notes
For body worn operation, this mobile phone has been tested
and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
containing no metal and positioning the handset a minimum
15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
