devices. (Examples of electronic devices
that might be affected by the product include
cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, other
electronic medical devices, fire alarms,
and automatic doors. If you are using an
electronic medical device, contact the device
manufacturer or retailer for information about
the pos

When using the product near an implanted
pacemaker, implanted cardioverter-defibrillator

Instruction

or other electronic medical device, radio waves
might affect these units and devices. So, please
observe the following.

1. Those with an implanted pacemaker or
implanted cardioverter-defibrillator should
carry or use the product at least 22 cm
away from the pacemaker or cardioverter­defibrillator.

2. Turn the pr

4. When using electronic medical devices
other than an implanted pacemaker and
implanted cardioverter-defibrillator outside
a medical institution (e.g. home medical
treatment), check individually with the
manufacturer of the electronic medical
device regarding the influence of radio
waves.

Stay alert to your surroundings when calling,
messaging, browsing the Internet, shooting
photos, playing games, watching TV (1Seg) or
listening to music. Failure to do so might cause
a fall or traffic accident.

Do not send data by infrared communication
with the infrared port pointing toward anyone's
eyes. Doing so might affect their eyes. Also,
sending data with the infrared port pointing
toward some other infrared device might cause
false operation, etc.

Do not light the flash in front of a person's eyes. Do
not gaze at the light emitting part when the photo
light is lighted. Doing so might cause impairment
of eyesight, etc. Be especially careful not to
point the flash at small children from a very close
distance.

Do not point the photo light toward a driver of
a car, motorbike or bicycle. If dazzled by the
light, the driver might become unable to drive
and cause an accident.

Sometimes, very rarely, some people
demonstrate symptoms such as temporary
muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, etc. by
watching repeatedly flickering screens. Those
with a past history of this should consult with a
physician before using the product.

22

Be sure to read the following
cautions before use.

Use of the product in an automobile might
sometimes affect on-board electronic devices,

Do not bring the product close to magnetized
objects such as cash cards, floppy disks, credit
cards, and prepaid cards. Doing so might result
in loss of recorded information.

Do not allow liquids, metal objects, burnable
items, and other foreign matter to get inside
the microSD memory card slot, connector, and
stereo earphone jack. Failure to do so might
cause fire, electric shock or a fault.

Do not swing the product around by holding
the earphones (sold separately), etc. Doing so
might cause an accident or damage.

Use the product with the connector cover, etc.
closed. If the covers are open, dirt or water may
get inside causing a fault.

If you have a weak heart, be careful when
setting the incoming vibration and ringtone
volume. Failure to do so might have an adverse
effect on your heart.

Pay attention to items becoming stuck to the
main unit. The speaker uses magnets, and
so thumbtacks and pins, craft knife blades,
staples, and other metal objects sometimes
become stuck to the main unit, and cause
unexpected injury. Before using the product, be
sure to check that there are no foreign objects
on the speaker or other parts.

Do not put the product directly on sand at a
beach, etc. Sand or other small particles might
get inside the receiver, microphone or speaker,
causing the volume to drop. If sand gets inside
the product, it might cause overheating or a
fault.

24

When using the product for calling or data
communication, be careful not to keep the

Prohibited

product in direct contact with your skin for a
prolonged period, or not to cover the product
with paper, cloth, bedding, etc. The product
might get hot, causing fire, burns or a fault.

Do not use a ballpoint pen, pencil, or any
other pointed object to perform touch panel

Prohibited

operations. Doing so can damage the display.
Do not leave the product inside a closed

motor vehicle during the summer or in any

Prohibited

other environment subject to extremely high
temperatures. Doing so can cause the product to
become very hot and creates the risk of burn injury.
Extreme heat can also decrease battery capacity,
shorten the lifespan of the battery, deform the case
of the phone, and cause other problems.

■ Battery pack

(The battery pack of this product is
a lithium ion battery.)
The battery pack is not fully charged
at the time of purchase. Charge the
battery before using the product.

Be sure to read the following
before use.

Do not short-circuit the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals of the battery pack.

Prohibited

Connect the battery pack to the product in
the correct orientation. Connecting in an

● 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. Doing so might cause scratching
or damage.

● The product may become hot if the display

is on continuously for a long time, so it may
cause low-temperature burns if it is against
your skin for a long time.

● When suddenly brought into a warm place

from a cold place, or when in a humid location,
o

r 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
conditions such as this, humidity might cause
corrosion or a fault.

● When wiping the display, wipe with a soft, dry

cloth. Use of a moistened cloth, glass cleaner
or other similar liquid might cause a fault.

● When connecting or disconnecting the

specified microUSB cable (sold separately)
to the connector, be sure the connector of the
specified microUSB cable (sold separately) is
straight in relation to the connector.

● Note that applying excessive force when the

specified microUSB cable (sold separately) is
attached may damage it.

● 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.

● Insert only a microSD memory card into the

microSD memory card slot on the product.

● Do not exert excessive force when installing/

removing a microSD memory card. Doing so
might injure your hands or fingers.

● While writing/reading data to/from a microSD

memory card, do not subject the product to
vibration or impact, remove the battery pack or
turn off the power. Doing so might cause loss
of data or a fault.

● When hearing the other party's voice, make

sure that the receiver is placed at the center of
your ear. If the receiver (audio output port) is
closed by the ear lobe, it may be hard to hear
the voice.

● Even if you cover the microphone to make

your voice inaudible to the other party, the
other party can hear your voice.

● When using handsfree call, take care to keep

the speaker at a safe distance from your ears.
The speaker volume may be too loud.

of the battery cover. Doing so might make
it impossible for FeliCa data to be read or
written.

■ Battery pack

● Use in very hot or cold environments, for

example, leaving it 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, re

move the battery pack from the
main unit and store it away from hot and humid
places.

● Charge the battery 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 is a consumable item. If the
