Precautions common to the main unit, 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 panel or internal
circuit board resulting in a malfunction.
If an external device is connected to the external connection terminal in such a condition, the connector might be damaged
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
℃
to 35
℃
and humidity range of 35% to 85%)
●
Do not use in places subject to lots of dust or vibration. Doing so might cause a malfunction.
●
Clean the connection terminal 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 terminal to prevent deformation.
●
Clean the product with a soft dry cloth (such as used for cleaning eyeglasses). Forceful rubbing with a dry cloth may
scratch the display panel. The display panel may become stained if water or dirt is kept on the surface. Wiping the product
using alcohol, thinner, benzene, detergent, glass cleaner, etc. might erase the printing on the outer casing resulting in a
malfunction.
●
Use as far away as possible from land-line phones, TVs and radios. Use nearby might affect them.
●
The product might become warm while charging, etc. depending on the situation, but this is not abnormal.
●
Do not place near corrosive chemicals or in places where corrosive gas is generated. Doing so might cause a malfunction.
●
Do not use outside when you can hear thunder. Doing so might risk lightning strikes and electric shock.
●
Be sure to use only specified peripheral devices. Use of other peripheral devices might cause a malfunction.
●
Do not put the product in a cooking apparatus such as microwave oven or a pressure vessel. Doing so might cause a
malfunction.

When using an AC adapter or external device, insert/remove the connector straight to/from the product. Make sure the
orientation of the connector is correct. Unless it’s correct, it might cause a malfunction.
●
Do not store the product in places subject to direct sunlight (e.g. in a car), places that get hot, places that get extremely
cold, and in humid or dusty places. Doing so might cause a malfunction.
●
Do not place the product on an unstable or inclined platform. Dropping the product might cause a malfunction.
●
Do not exceed the rating of a power outlet or wiring device when charging the product, for example, by starburst
connection etc.
■
Main unit
●
Since the battery is built into the product, you cannot replace it yourself. For replacing the battery, contact an au shop or
Customer Service Center.
●
Do not forcefully press, tap or intentionally subject the display panel to strong impact. Doing so might cause scratching or
damage.
●
Do not forcefully press your fingernails, sharp objects or hard objects against keys or display panel surface. Doing so might
cause scratching or damage.
The touch panel is designed to be lightly touched by fingers. Do not apply strong pressure with your fingers or sharp-
pointed objects (such as fingernails, ballpoint pens and pins) on the touch panel.
In the following cases, the product may not respond to touching the touch panel. Or, might cause false operation.
• Operation with gloved hands
• Operation with fingernails
• Operation with foreign object placed on the touch panel
• Operation with a protective sheet or sticker on the touch panel
• Operation with water drops or dew condensation attached on the touch panel
• Operation with wet or sweaty fingers
●
Never use modified the product. Use of a modified device violates the Radio Law and Telecommunications Business Act.
The product obtains a technical standards conformity certification of specified wireless equipment based on the Radio Law
and a technical standards conformity approval based on the Telecommunications Business Act, and as a proof, you can
check the “Technical Conformity Mark
” with the product.
To display the mark, in the Home screen, tap “Settings”
→
“About”
→
“Certification”.If the screws of the product are removed
and modifications are made to the internal components, the certification of conformity with technical regulations will become
invalid. Never use the product without the valid certification. Doing so violates the Radio Law and Telecommunications
Business Act.
●
Take care not to place magnetized items such as magnetic cards, speakers and TV sets near the product, as it might
cause a malfunction.
Putting a strong magnetism close to the product might cause false operation.
●
Do not bring magnetized cards such as cash cards, credit cards and pre-paid cards closer to the product. Doing so might
cause loss of the recorded data.
●
When you put the product in your pocket or bag, take care so that the display panel does not come in contact with metal
objects or other hard objects. Doing so might cause scratching or damage. Also, be careful not to scratch or damage the
display panel by using a strap whose metal or other hard part comes in contact with the display panel.
●
When suddenly brought into a warm place from a cold place, or when in a humid location, or when used where
temperature suddenly changes (e.g. near the air discharge port of an air conditioner), water droplets (i.e. condensation)
sometimes are formed inside the product. Note that when used under such conditions, the humidity might cause corrosion
or a malfunction.
●
Use the product with the Micro IC Card slot cover closed. If you use with the Micro IC Card slot cover open, dust or water
might get inside causing a malfunction.
●
Do not allow liquids, metal objects, or other foreign objects to get inside of the au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot. Doing so might
cause a malfunction.
●
Do not give strong impact on the product such as dropping, throwing, stomping. Doing so might cause a malfunction.
●
Do not place the product directly on a sandy beach, etc. Sand etc. might get inside the product causing a malfunction.
■
Touch Panel
●
Do not put stickers or sheets (e.g. commercially available protective films, peep prevention sheets) on the display panel.
Doing so might hinder correct operation of the touch panel.
●
When carrying the product in your pocket or bag, take care not to put the touch panel close to metals or other conductive
materials, as it might cause false operation of the touch panel.
■
Internal Battery
(The internal battery of the product is a lithium-ion battery)
The internal battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery before using the product.
Charge the battery before using if you have not used the product for a long time.
●
Use in very hot or cold environments, for example, when left in an automobile with the windows closed in summer, will
cause the internal battery capacity to drop and shorten the available battery usage time. That also shorten the internal
battery life. Try to use the internal battery as far as possible at room temperature.
●
The internal battery gradually discharges after charging even if the product is not used. The internal battery might
discharge completely after long time no use. Charge before using.
●
The internal battery is a consumable part. If the performance of a battery does not recover (e.g. the usable time after each
charge has become extremely short), the battery is at the end of service life, so stop use. Battery is built into the product.
For repair, the product must be collected to au shop etc. and charges will be incurred. And you may not use the product
during certain period of time. Please be forewarned. Note that the length of service life varies depending on the usage
condition, etc.
●
Internal battery sometimes swells up as they approach the end of their service life. This is due to the properties of lithium-
ion batteries, and is not a problem in terms of safety.
■
Charging equipment
●
Do not wrap the cord of the specified charging equipment (sold separately) around the adapter itself. Do not bend connection
part of charging equipment and power plug forcibly. Do not place heavy objects on a cord of adapter or USB cable, or do not
apply unreasonable force to the cord such as pulling. Doing so might cause a malfunction.
●
Hold the power plug of the specified charging equipment when removing from an outlet. If you pull the cable, the cable might
be damaged.
