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.)

Rubber seals

The rubber seals on the inner edges of the external connection terminal cover

and battery cover are important to maintain waterproof property. Do not damage

or remove the rubber seals.

When closing the external connection terminal cover or battery 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 property. Just a

small particle (a hair, a grain of sand, etc.) on the seals can cause water leak.

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 gaps around the external connection terminal

cover and battery cover. Doing so might damage or deform the product or

damage the rubber seals, causing water leak.

It is recommended to replace the parts for maintaining waterproof property once

every 2 years regardless of whether any abnormality is present. For information

on part replacement, contact an au shop near you.

Charging

Never charge the battery if the main unit is wet.

The supplied and optional accessories are not waterproof.

Waterproof property

Do not use the product in places where it may be sprayed with high-pressure

water (e.g. near a faucet or showerhead) or submerge it in water for extended

periods of time, as the product is not designed to withstand high water pressure.

Also, do not expose the product to a water flow stronger than the specified flow

rate (i.e. 6 liters per minute from a faucet or showerhead, at which you might even

feel pain in the skin). Doing so might cause a fault, even though the product has

a waterproof property equivalent to IPX5. Do not wash the product in a washing

machine or ultrasound bath.

This product does not float on water.

Heat resistance

Do not use the product in places where boiling water may splash on it, in saunas

or near hot air (e.g. hairdryer). The product is not resistant to high temperatures.

Shock

This product is not resistant to shock. Do not drop the product or subject it to

shock. Also, do not jab the earpiece, microphone or speaker with a cotton swab

or any sharp object. Doing so might damage or deform the main unit causing

water leak.

■ Emergency call location noti cation

This product supports "Emergency call location notification" so that
if you make an emergency call to the police, fire station or Regional
Coast Guard Headquarters, your current location (GPS information)
will be transmitted to the agency receiving the emergency call.

◎ In this section, the police (110), fire 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 notified 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 notified of
some other place different from your actual location.

◎ When GPS cannot be used to notify of your location, base station signal is

used instead.

56

◎ 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.

Speci c Absorption Rate of Mobile Phone

This model DIGNOS 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 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

0.762 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) recommended by KDDI (*2). In case you are not using the
au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (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. The World Health Organization
has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the
use of mobile devices has nay 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.(http://www.
who.int/docstore/peh-emf/publications/facts_press/fact_japanese.
htm)
Please refer to the websites listed below if you would like to know
more detailed information regarding SAR.

○ Association of Radio Industries and Businesses website:
http://www.arib-emf.org/index02.html
○ au homepage:

*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)

FCC Notice

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help and for

Appendix/Index

additional suggestions.

Warning

The user is cautioned that changes or modi cations not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

Warning! Read this information before using your phone.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

Warning! Read this information before using your phone. In August 1996,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with
its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety
standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and
these international standards.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of
the phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches
(1.0 cm) must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the
phone, including the antenna. All beltclips, holsters and similar accessories
used by this device must not contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC
RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

Turn off your phone before  ying

You should turn off your phone when boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew
member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any
risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the
plane is in the air.

European RF Exposure Information

Your mobile device is both a radio transmitter and receiver, and is designed
not to exceed limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were produced by independent scientific
organization, ICNIRP, and include safety margins designed to protect all persons,
regardless of age and condition of health.
The guidelines apply a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2W/kg and the highest SAR value
for this device was 0.640 W/kg*.
As testing measures SAR at the highest transmitting power of a device, actual
SAR tends to be lower during ordinary operation. Lower SAR levels are typical
during ordinary operation as automatic changes are made within the device to
ensure the network can be reached with minimal power.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions to be adopted
when using mobile devices. WHO also notes that those wishing to reduce
exposure may do so by limiting call length and by using a 'hands-free' device to
distance the phone from the head and body. For further information, please see
the WHO website: http://www.who.int/emf.
* Note that tests are also carried out in accordance with international testing
guidelines.
