Getting Started

microSDXC Card

Handset supports microSDXC Cards (SDXC-compatible SD

Cards). microSDXC Cards are supported by SDXC-compatible

devices only.

Exchanging Data with Non-SDXC-Compatible

Devices

To exchange data between handset and non-SDXC-

compatible devices, use SD Cards (microSD/microSDHC

Cards) supported by handset and those devices. Inserting a

microSDXC Card used on handset in a non-SDXC-compatible

device may corrupt card data. In such cases, do not format

the microSDXC Card on that device even if prompted to do

so.

Formatting deletes all microSDXC Card data and changes

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

downloaded commercially-available applications described

as saving data on SD Card, data is saved in internal

storage.
・To save photos and videos taken with handset on SD

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

Battery Cautions

Storage

To help maintain performance and life of Internal Battery,

replaced if operating time shortens noticeably. Internal

Battery is not user replaceable; its replacement incurs fees

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

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.

About Charging Abroad

SoftBank Corp. is not liable for problems resulting from
charging handset abroad.
