●
Do not exert force on the hinge (between display and keypad) when opening
or using the K012. Exerting force by swinging or bending the K012 backward
might result in malfunction or damage. Use with care.
●
Do not forcefully press, tap or intentionally subject the display to strong
impact. Doing so might cause scratching or damage.
●
Take care that hard objects do not rub against and scratch the display or
camera lens.
●
When you put the product in your pocket or bag, take care so that the
display does not come in contact with metal objects or other hard objects.
Also, be careful not to scratch or damage the display by using a strap whose
metal or other hard part comes in contact with the display.
●
The display may appear dark or warped depending on the angle if viewed
while wearing polarized sunglasses or similar eyewear.
●
When suddenly brought into a warm indoors place from a cold outdoors
place, or when in a humid location, water droplets (i.e. condensation)
sometimes are formed inside the product. Note that when used under
conditions such as this, humidity might cause corrosion or a fault.
●
Do not leave the cell phone near air conditioning vents. Condensation from a
sudden temperature change may corrode the inside of the cell phone and
cause malfunction.
●
Do not place stickers on the display/key side of the cell phone. After closing
the K012, the keys, etc. may be pressed and cause misoperation, or key
operations while closed may be unavailable or usable time may be
shortened. The K012 may also be damaged.
●
Trying to press keys while data is playing back may cause unusual operation
such as data pausing.
●
Continuously displaying the monitor screen during photography or
continuous video recording, use of EZweb, etc. for extended periods
repeatedly causes K012 components to become warm, and may result in
low-temperature burns with prolonged skin contact.
●
Placing a strong magnet close to the product might cause malfunction.
●
To prevent unauthorized use in case of theft or loss, the K012 is locked so that it
cannot be used unless the legitimate user's au IC-Card is inserted. If the user is
changed to some other person, the new user should bring the au IC-Card to an
au shop or PiPit. Note that a fee is charged for ownership change.
●
Surrounding brightness is detected by the optical sensor (page 25). Take
care not to cover it with your fingers.
●
Do not discard the product together with regular trash. Please cooperate in the
collection of the product when it is no longer needed to protect the environment
and effectively use resources. Old products are collected at au shops and other
places.
●
When using handsfree call, take care to keep the speaker at a safe distance
from your ears, as the speaker volume may be too loud.

Battery pack
●
Use in very hot or cold environments, for example, when left in an automobile
with the windows closed in summer, will cause the battery capacity to drop
and shorten the available battery usage time. This will also shorten the
battery pack's service life. Try to use the battery pack as far as possible at
room temperature.
●
When the battery pack is not to be used for a long time, remove the battery
pack from the main unit, and store it in a battery pack case away from hot
and humid places (a battery pack case is included with an additional battery
pack (sold separately)).
Data stored in the K012 may be lost if left uncharged for an extended time.
●
Charge the battery pack before using the product for the first time after
purchase, or if you have not used the product for a long time (the battery
pack may become warm during charging, but this is not a malfunction).
●
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the performance of a battery pack
does not recover after charge or is bulging, the battery pack is at the end of
service life, so buy a new one of the specified type. Note that the length of
service life varies depending on the usage condition, etc.
●
Do not discard battery packs together with regular trash. Please cooperate in
the collection of used battery packs to protect the environment and
effectively use resources. au shops and other retailers collect used battery
packs.
●
Battery packs sometimes swell 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.
