Common precautions
･
microUSB connection terminal cover, microSD memory card slot cover
and au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover
Make sure that the microUSB connection terminal cover, microSD memory
card slot cover and au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover are firmly closed. Just
a small particle (a hair, etc.) on the seals can cause water leak or dust
penetration.
Do not open/close the microUSB connection terminal cover, microSD memory
card slot cover and au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover with gloved hands. Just
a small particle (a hair, etc.) on the seals can cause water leak or dust
penetration. Wipe off any minuscule droplets of water or dirt with a clean dry
cloth before closing the covers.
If the microUSB connection terminal cover, microSD memory card slot cover
or au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover is deteriorated or damaged, the
waterproof/dustproof property becomes ineffective. In such case, contact an
au shop near you.
･
If any liquid other than plain water gets on the product
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. seawater, detergent, alcohol, juices)
gets on the product, immediately rinse it with plain water. You can wash the
product under a mild flow (less than 6 liters per minute) of tap water at room
temperature (5
℃
to 35
℃
) at a distance of about 10 cm from the faucet or
showerhead. If the product gets dirty, wash it with your hands holding the
microUSB connection terminal cover, microSD memory card slot cover and
au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover so that they do not open. Do not use a brush
or sponge.
･
After the product gets wet
After the product gets wet, drain water, and wipe the main unit with a clean
dry cloth. In cold climates, water on the main unit may turn to frost. Using the
product with frost may cause a fault. Do not leave the product without wiping
off water (No special measures against condensation have been
implemented in this product).
Do not leave the product without wiping off water. Water may get in the head
connection terminal, power key, volume key or camera key parts. If that
happens, remove the water by shaking the product (Check your surroundings
and be careful not to drop the product). Wipe off the remaining water quickly
with a clean dry cloth. Note that your clothes or bag may get wet by water that
is not removed or collects in the groove.
Also, do not leave water droplets in earpiece/notification LED, microphone/
speaker or second microphone. That may interfere with talking.
･
Rubber seals
The rubber seals on the inner edges of the microUSB connection terminal
cover, microSD memory card slot cover or au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover
are important to maintain waterproof/dustproof property. Do not damage or
remove the rubber seals.
When closing the microUSB connection terminal cover, microSD memory
card slot cover or au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot cover, take care not to get the
rubber seals caught. Forcibly closing the cover with the rubber seals caught
may damage them resulting in loss of waterproof/dustproof property. Just a
small particle (a hair, etc.) on the seals can cause water leak or dust
penetration.
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. alcohol) gets on the rubber seals, it
may cause deterioration in durability.
Do not insert sharp objects into grooves around the microUSB connection
terminal cover, microSD memory card slot cover or au Micro IC Card (LTE) slot
cover. Doing so might damage or deform the product or damage the rubber
seals, causing water leak or dust penetration.
It is recommended to replace the parts for maintaining waterproof/dustproof
property once every two years regardless of whether any abnormality is
present. For information on part replacement, contact an au shop near you.
･

This model SOL23 mobile phone complies with Japanese technical regulations
and international guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves. This mobile
phone has been designed in observance of the Japanese technical regulations
regarding exposure to radio waves
(*1)
and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by equivalent international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set out by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration with the
World Health Organization (WHO), and the permissible limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health condition. The Japanese technical regulations and international guidelines
define the limits using a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR), which represents the average amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The
highest SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.424 W/
kg. There may be slight differences in SAR levels among individual products, but
they all satisfy the limit. The actual SAR of this mobile phone while talking on the
phone can be well below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes in
the power level of the mobile phone to ensure it only outputs the minimum power
required to communicate with a base station. Therefore in general, the closer you
are to a base station, the lower the power output of the mobile phone.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than against your ear. This
mobile phone satisfies the international guidelines when used with au Carrying
Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately)/au Carrying Case G Black (0106FCA)
(sold separately) recommended by KDDI
(*2)
.
In case you are not using the au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold
separately)/au Carrying Case G Black (0106FCA) (sold separately), use a product
that contains no metal parts, and one that can hold the mobile phone at least 1.5
cm away from your body.

Notes on applications
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of cell phones
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does
not indicate that use of mobile devices has any harmful effects on the human body.
They recommend that if you are still worried about your exposure then you can limit
your talk time or use a handsfree kit to keep the mobile phone away from your
head and body. If you would like to know more detailed information, please refer to
the WHO website.

*1 Technical regulations are defined by the Ministerial Ordinance Related to
Radio Law (Article 14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
*2 Regarding the method of measuring SAR when using mobile phones in
positions other than against the ear, the international standard IEC62209-2
was set in March 2010. On the other hand, Japanese technical regulation is
currently under deliberation by the Committee for Radio Wave Utilization
Environment set up in the Information and Communication Technology
Group of the Advisory Committee on Information and Communications. (As
of October 2011)
