shaking from the earthquake (S-wave, principal shock)
occurs.
◎ In the vicinity of the seismic center, a strong shaking may
reach you before Earthquake Early Warning.
◎ The Earthquake Early Warning distribution system provided
by this service is different from that provided by TV, radio

card cover, etc. closed. If the covers are open, dirt
or water may get inside causing a fault.
Stow the TV antenna when not watching TV. If you
operate the product for calling, etc. with the TV
antenna extended, it might cause unexpected injury
by hitting your face, etc.
If you have a weak heart, be careful when setting the
incoming vibration and ringtone volume to prevent
adverse effects on your heart.

other metal objects sometimes become stuck to the
main unit, and cause unexpected injury.
Do not put the product directly on sand at a beach,
etc. Sand or other small particles might get inside
the earpiece, mouthpiece, speaker or earphone/

The internal battery is a consumable item. If the
performance of the internal battery does not recover
(e.g. the usable time after each charge has become
extremely short), the internal battery is at the end of
service life, so stop using it. Failure to do so might
cause overheating, ignition, rupture or leakage.
Since the battery is built-in type, the product will be
kept at an au shop etc. and charges will be incurred
for repair. Also, you may not use the product in
certain period of time. Note that the length of service
life varies depending on the usage condition, etc.

Handling Precautions
These precautions are provided to ensure that
performance can be fully demonstrated.
Thoroughly read these precautions to ensure correct use.
■ Precautions common to the main unit, internal
battery, charger, au Micro IC Card (LTE),
peripheral devices
● Do not apply excessive force to the product during use. Be
sure not to put the product into a tightly packed bag or place
a heavy object on the product in a bag. Sitting on the product
in your pocket might damage the display or internal circuit
board resulting in a malfunction.
Keeping an external device connected to the external
connection jack might damage the connector resulting in a
malfunction. Such damage and malfunction are not covered
by the warranty, even if there is no external damage.
● To ensure waterproof property (equivalent to IPX5 and IPX7)
of the product, use the product with the external connection
jack cover and au Micro IC Card (LTE)/microSD memory
card cover tightly closed.
Note that the waterproof property is not guaranteed in every
usage condition. Do not allow water to get inside the product
or splash water on the charger or optional accessories. Do
not open/close the external connection jack cover or au
Micro IC Card (LTE)/microSD memory card cover in the rain
or with water drops on the surface of the product. Doing so
might cause water intrusion resulting in internal corrosion.
Malfunctions determined to be caused by water intrusion are
not covered by the warranty.
● Do not use the product in extremely hot, cold or humid
places. (Use within an ambient temperature range of 5°C to
35°C and humidity range of 35% to 85%.)

temperature of 36°C to 40°C is allowed only when you use
the product temporarily.)
• SHL23
• au Micro IC Card (LTE) (inserted into the SHL23)
● Do not use in places subject to lots of dust or vibration.
● Clean the charger terminal and external connection jack on
the product, and connection jack on the desktop holder with
dry cotton swabs, etc. ever y now and then. A soiled terminal/
jack might cause poor connection. When cleaning them, do
not exert a strong force to prevent deformation.
● Clean the product with a soft dry cloth (such as the type used
for eyeglasses). Forceful rubbing with a dry cloth may
scratch the display. The display may be stained if splash or
smear is left attached to the surface. Wiping the product
using alcohol, thinner, benzene, detergent, etc. might erase
the printing on the outer casing or cause discoloration.
● Use as far away as possible from fixed-line phones, TVs and
radios. Use nearby might affect them.
