The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model handset as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.376 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.717 W/ kg. Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the handset kept 1 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the handset. The use of beltclips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/) after searching on FCC ID JOYYKCA04. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the FCC website at (https://www.fcc.gov/
general/radio-frequency-safety-0).
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.

Water/Dust/Shock Resistance

Handset has waterproof ratings equivalent to IPX5 and IPX7 and dustproof rating equivalent to IP5X (Back Cover and Card Slot Cap completely secure). Handset is also provided with shock resistance complying with military standards (SoftBank testing). Specifically, handset can be used in rain (less than 20 mm per hour) without an umbrella. Handset can also be used in bathrooms, kitchens, at poolside, and other places with water. * For details, see "In Various Environments." However, failure to observe precautions given here may allow water, sand, foreign particles, etc. to enter handset and may cause overheating, ignition, electric shock, scratches, malfunction, etc. For safe handset use, first read precautions here.  IPX5 equivalent Handset continues to function as a phone after being sprayed from all directions with 12.5 L of water per minute from a 6.3 mm diameter nozzle for at least 3 minutes, from a distance of approximately 3 m.  IPX7 equivalent Handset continues to function as a phone without water intrusion after being slowly immersed in still tap water of room temperature to a depth of 1 m, and left there for approximately 30 minutes before being removed again.  IP5X equivalent Handset will maintain a certain level of functionality and safety even after particulates in dustproof testing (dia. 75 μm or less) have entered handset.  Compliance with Military Standards Although drop testing in compliance with MIL-STD-810G Method 516.7:Shock-Procedure IV as stipulated by the US Department of Defense (product dropped in 26 directions onto plywood (lauan) from a height of 1.22 m), this is not a guarantee with regard to all types of shock. * As handset is designed with shock resistance in everyday usage, handset may break if subjected to excessive impact such as being thrown against something. Dropping may produce scratches, etc. even if handset performance is unaffected.
Before Use
・Close Card Slot Cap securely and attach Back Cover firmly to
prevent water intrusion.
Confirm that Cap and Cover are completely secure so that
there are no gaps.
・Particles (lint, a single hair, grain of sand/dirt, etc.) lodged
between joining surfaces may allow water intrusion.
・DO NOT open/close Card Slot Cap or attach/remove Back
Cover if hands/handset is wet.

・Check handset and hands for moisture, sand, grime, etc.
before opening or closing Card Slot Cap or attaching/ removing Back Cover. May enter handset or become lodged in Cap or Cover, resulting in malfunction or water intrusion. If moisture, sand, grime, etc. is visible, no matter how small, first wipe handset and hands with lint-free clean, dry cloth before handling.
・Do not leave handset wetted. Water may enter from gaps.
May also reduce volume. If wetted, shake handset, and promptly remove as much water as possible with a lint-free clean, dry cloth. In cold regions, handset may freeze and cause malfunction.
・Handset is waterproof for only for fresh water/tap water.
Not waterproof for hot water, salt water, soap water, chemicals, sweat, etc. If exposed to other types of moisture or sand/mud/etc., promptly wash off with room temperature tap water. Wash using hands (do not use brush) and hold Back Cover/Card Slot Cap secured. * Somewhat low water pressure (6 L or less per minute)
・Do not expose to strong water pressure (e.g., tap/shower
water that hurts) above rating (IPX5, IPX7) or immerse for extended period.
・Do not wash in a washing machine, ultra-sonic washing
machine, etc.
・Do not subject to strong shock while submersed (e.g., drop
into basin, toilet, washing machine with water).
・Do not insert pointed objects in holes of Mic, Earpiece,
Speaker, 3.5mm Headphone Port, or External Device Port.
・Rubber seal on back of Card Slot Cap is vital to
waterproofing/dustproofing. Observe the following. ・Do not remove or scratch. ・Do not allow particles to adhere. Lodged particles (lint, hair, sand, etc.) may allow water intrusion. Always remove. ・Remaining liquid other than fresh water or tap water (hot water, salt water, detergent water, chemicals, sweat, etc.) may degrade waterproofing. ・Be careful rubber seal is not pinched when securing Card Slot Cap. Forcing Cap closed with rubber seal pinched can scratch seal and may degrade waterproofing/dustproofing. ・Replace components for water, dust, and shock resistance every two years regardless of appearance. Replacement can be provided at cost while handset is retained. Visit a SoftBank Shop or contact SoftBank Customer Support.
