The supplied and optional accessories are not waterproof.
Be sure to check the following points before and after
charging.
• Never charge the battery if the main unit is wet. Doing so
might cause electric shock or short circuit resulting in re or a
fault.
• Check that the main unit is not wet. If you are charging the
battery just after the product gets wet, drain water well
and wipe remaining water o󰮏 with a clean dry cloth before
connecting it to the specied charging equipment (sold
separately) or the desktop holder.
• Do not touch the specied charging equipment (sold
separately) or desktop holder with wet hands. Doing so might
cause electric shock.
• Do not splash water over the specied charging equipment
(sold separately) and desktop holder when using them. Do
not use them near water such as in a bathroom, shower room,
kitchen or washroom. Doing so might cause re, electric
shock or a fault. Do not bring them into a bathroom, etc. even
when you are not charging with them.
Notes on Using Bluetooth®/
Wireless LAN Functions
• The Bluetooth® function and the wireless LAN function of this
product conforms to the domestic standards of Japan, FCC
standards, and EC directives, and has been certied.
• The 2.4 GHz band used by wireless LAN and Bluetooth®
devices is shared by various other devices. For this reason,
the communication speed and connectable range may be
decreased, or disconnection may occur, due to interference by
other devices.
• Do not use this product in places where electromagnetic
waves are generated or near electric products, AV and OA
equipment, or other magnetized devices.
• Subjecting this product to magnetic or electrical noise
might increase noise and prevent it from performing
communications. (This product is particularly susceptible to
noise when it used near a microwave oven.)
• Using this product near a TV, radio or similar appliance might
cause reception interference and disrupt TV images.
• Searching might not be successful if there are multiple
wireless LAN access points near to the product or the same
channel is being used.
• The wireless LAN function cannot be used in airplane. Be sure
to turn o󰮏 the power even in a Wi-Fi compliant airplane. Some
airline companies, however, allow their passengers to use cell
phones. For details, contact the airline company you use.
• The communication speed and connectable range vary
depending on the distance between communication devices,
obstacles and the Bluetooth® devices used.

The frequencies used by the Bluetooth® and/or wireless
LAN function of this product are in the 2.4 GHz band. In
this frequency band, other similar wireless stations, in-plant
wireless stations for mobile unit identication that require
a license for use, such as factory production lines, specic
small power wireless stations that do not require licenses,
amateur wireless stations (collectively called "other wireless
stations" from here on) are operated in addition to home
electrical appliances such as microwave ovens, devices for
industrial, scientic and medical devices.
1. Before using the product, make sure that "other wireless stations"
are not in operation nearby.
2. In the event that instances of radio wave interference have
occurred between this product and "other wireless stations",
immediately either relocate this product or stop operation of the
device (stop emission of radio waves).
3. If you are unclear on any points or are troubled by anything, contact
an au shop or Customer Service Center.
Bluetooth® and wireless LAN functions of this product use
frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.
2.4FH1/DS4/OF4
• Bluetooth® function: 2.4FH1
This product uses the 2.4 GHz band. FH-SS is used as the
modulation scheme. The interference distance is about 10 m
or less.
• Wireless LAN function: 2.4DS/OF4
This product uses the 2.4 GHz band. DS-SS and OFDM are
used as the modulation schemes. The interference distance
is about 40 m or less.
• Bandwidth to use: Full band
This means that full band can be used, and that bands of
mobile unit identication devices can be avoided.
• Available channels di󰮏er depending on the country.
• For use in airplane, check with the airline company in advance.

memo
• Connections between this product and all other Bluetooth®
and wireless LAN devices have not been conrmed.
Therefore, connections with all Bluetooth® and wireless
LAN devices are not guaranteed.
• This product supports security features for wireless
communications that are compliant with the Bluetooth®
and wireless LAN standard specications, but the security
may not be su󰮐cient depending on the usage environment
and conguration. Be careful when making data
communication using Bluetooth® or wireless LAN function.
• Wireless LAN has the advantage that it can be freely
connected anywhere within the radio wave range, as it
uses radio waves for exchanging information. At the same
time, there is a risk that a malicious third party may obtain
unauthorized access if security settings have not been
congured. You are recommended to congure security
settings before using wireless LAN at your decision and
responsibility.
• The Company assumes no responsibility for leakage of
data or information that may occur during Bluetooth®/
wireless LAN communication.
Since Bluetooth® and wireless LAN functions use the same
frequency band, using the both functions at the same
may cause radio wave interference resulting in decreased
communication speed or disconnection from the network.
If connection fails, stop using either of the Bluetooth® and
wireless LAN functions.
Notes on Packet Communication
Charge
• Since constant Internet connection is possible with
this product, packet communication may be performed
automatically by some applications, resulting in high packet
communication charges.
Therefore, subscription to a packet communication charge
discount service or at late plan is recommended.
• To browse websites, download applications, communicate
using applications, send/receive e-mails, and congure
various settings, connection to the Internet is required, to
which packet communication charge applies.
* Packet communication charge does not apply to Wi-Fi®
connection.

Applications
• Be sure to check the security of the application, then install
it at your own risk. Some applications might cause virus
infection, damage various data, and send out your location
information, usage history or personal information stored in
your cell phone via the Internet.
• The Company assumes no responsibility for any operation
problems that might be caused by applications you have
installed. In such case, you may be charged a repair fee even
during the warranty period.
• The Company assumes no responsibility for any disadvantage
brought to you or any third party by applications you have
installed.
• Insertion of a microSD memory card is necessary to use some
applications.
• Some applications prohibit the product from entering sleep
mode while they are active, or rapidly drain the battery while
running in the background.
• Operation procedures and screen appearances of the
applications preinstalled in this product and those installed
by you are subject to change without notice as a result of
version upgrade. In addition, operation procedures described in
this manual may di󰮏er from the actual procedures.

This product supports "Emergency call location notication"
so that if you make an emergency call to the police, re
station or Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, your current
location (GPS information) will be transmitted to the agency
receiving the emergency call.
memo
• In this section, the police (110), re station (119) and
Regional Coast Guard Headquarters (118) are collectively
referred to as the emergency call receiving agency.
This feature may not yet be available at some emergency
call receiving agencies.
• If you add "184" before the emergency call number
110/119/118, the emergency call receiving agency will
not be notied of your location and phone number.
• In places where signal reception from GPS satellites or a
base station is relatively poor, such as in an underground
mall, inside a building or behind a tall building, the
emergency call receiving agency may be notied of some
other place di󰮏erent from your actual location.
When GPS cannot be used to notify of your location, base
station signal is used instead.
When making an emergency call to the police, fire station
or Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, always confirm
where you are, and tell them your exact location on the
phone. Note that depending on the area where you are
calling, your call may not be connected to the agency
having jurisdiction over that area.
If the emergency call receiving agency determines that
human lives and health are in danger, they will be able to
acquire the caller's location information during the call or
within a certain period of time after the call.
