device may corrupt card data. In such cases, do not format
the microSDXC Card on that device even if prompted to do
so.

the file system. The original storage capacity may
be unavailable after formatting. To use a corrupted
microSDXC Card, format it on an SDXC-compatible device.
Save Location
By default, data, including photos and videos taken
with handset, is saved in internal storage. Even with

storage.

Card, insert SD Card before using Camera, then change
save location as follows.

Description
Charging/Notification Lamp
Charging/Notification Lamp illuminates red while charging;
illuminates green when charge is almost full.

・If Charging/Notification Lamp is blinking, charging is not
working properly. Make sure that you are using Charger
and products specified by SoftBank Corp. If you are using
specified products only, contact a SoftBank Shop or
SoftBank Customer Support, General Information.
Battery Cautions
Storage
To help maintain performance and life of Internal Battery,

should be at approximately 40% for optimal storage).
・Full (immediately after charging is complete)

life; this does not affect safety.
Internal Battery Replacement
Internal Battery is a consumable item; may need to be
replaced if operating time shortens noticeably. Internal

and requires handset submission to a SoftBank Shop or
other appropriate servicer. For details, contact a SoftBank
Shop or SoftBank Customer Support, General Information.
Charging Cautions

not waterproof. Never connect a charger plug/USB Type-C
plug while handset or Charger is wet.
Handset is water resistant; however, if a charger plug/USB
Type-C plug is inserted while it is wet, liquid (tap water,
beverage, sea water, pet urine, etc.) or a foreign object
adhered to handset or a charger plug/USB Type-C plug may
cause overheating, burnout, fire, malfunction, burns, etc.
due to electric shock, short-circuiting, etc.
Handling Cords
Do not pull, bend, or twist cord; may damage the cord.
