Handset Memory & SD Card Usage Notes

Handset Memory/SD Card Files

Handset memory/SD Card files may be lost/altered due
to accidents, malfunctions, repairs, handset upgrade/
replacement, mishandling, etc. Back up important files
regularly. SoftBank Mobile Corp. is not liable for any
damages resulting from loss/alteration of files.

microSDXC Card

Handset supports microSDXC Cards (SDXC-compatible SD
Cards). microSDXC Cards are supported by SDXC-compatible

Exchanging Files with Non-SDXC-Compatible
Devices

To exchange files between handset and non-SDXC­compatible 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 files. In addition, do not format
the microSDXC Card on that device even if prompted to do
so.

・Formatting deletes all microSDXC Card files and changes

the file system. The original memory capacity may
be unavailable after formatting. To use a corrupted
microSDXC Card, format it on an SDXC-compatible device.

Charging Handset

AC Charger (optional accessory), Micro USB Cable (optional
accessory), Micro USB Charging Adapter (optional accessory)
and In-Car Charger (optional accessory) are not water proof.
Never connect Micro USB plug while handset or Charger is wet.
Handset is water resistant; however, if Micro USB plug
is inserted while it is wet, liquid (tap water, beverage,
sea water, pet urine, etc.) or a foreign object adhered to
handset or Micro USB plug may cause overheating, burnout,
fire, malfunction, burns, etc. due to electric shock, short­circuiting, etc.

AC Charger

AC Charger is an optional accessory. Be sure to use SHCEJ1 or
ZTDAC1 (Micro USB, 1.0 A) specified by SoftBank Mobile Corp.
The following explains how to charge handset using SHCEJ1.

・See User Guide for corresponding AC Charger.
・Never connect Micro USB plug while handset or AC Charger

is wet.

After charging, remove Micro USB Cable from handset and PC

Lithium-ion Battery

This product requires a lithium-ion battery. Lithium­ion batteries are recyclable. To recycle a used lithium­ion battery, take it to any shop displaying the recycling
symbol.

life; this does not affect safety.

Internal Battery Replacement

Cautions for SD Card Encryption

Files on SD Card can be encrypted with Encrypt microSD.

・Encrypted SD Card cannot be recognized by any device

other than handset used for encrypting the SD Card.

・Encrypting SD Card prevents files on that SD Card from

being accessed by other people (e.g., when your handset
is lost).

・Even when encrypted SD Card is removed from handset

then inserted into another handset or connected to a PC
via an SD Card reader/writer, files on the encrypted SD

Card cannot be accessed from the device.
・Performing Encrypt microSD deletes all SD Card files.
・To disable encryption of SD Card and use it normally,

perform Reset all .

When performing Reset all , select Delete data in

microSD as well. for initialization. Note that files on

the SD Card will be deleted.
・Once used for encrypting SD Card, handset cannot be

connected to a PC in MTP mode or PTP mode.
・SD Card becomes read-only when inserted into handset

that has been used for encrypting another SD Card.
・To write to read-only SD Card, perform steps in

"Formatting SD Card." Note that files on the SD Card will

be deleted.
