Charging
Common AC adapter 05
(sold separately)
Charging
When you purchase the product, the internal battery is not fully charged. Be
sure to charge the internal battery before use.
• If the performance of the battery does not recover (e.g. the usable time after
each charge has become extremely short), the internal battery may be at the
end of service life. On the home screen, “Apps Sheet” [[Settings] [[About phone] [[Status] [[Battery status] to check the charging
performance of the internal battery.
• While charging, the charging/incoming indicator illuminates in red, and the
battery icon is displayed with superimposed. When the battery is charged
to approximately 95%, the charging/incoming indicator illuminates in green.
When charging is finished, the charging/incoming indicator goes out.
◎ The product may become warm while charging, but this is normal.
◎ Depending on the operation procedure and usage environment, the
temperature inside the product may get high and the product may even
get heated. In such case, charging may stop for security reasons.
◎ Charging the internal battery while using the camera function etc. may
lengthen the charging time.
◎ If you perform various operations with a specified charger (sold
separately) connected to the product, charging/discharging may take
place repeatedly in a short time. Frequently charging the internal battery
shortens its service life.
◎ If you charge the internal battery when the battery has run out, the
charging/incoming indicator may not illuminate soon. However, charging
is in progress.
◎ If the charging/incoming indicator flashes in red, force the power off
(zP. 11) and turn the product on again. If the indicator continues to flash,
stop charging the internal battery and contact an au shop or the Keitai
Guarantee Service Center.
◎ If you stop charging while the charging/incoming indicator still illuminates
during charging, the cell phone may be left not fully charged even if
is displayed on it. In such case, the usage times shorten.
Charging with the Specified AC Adapter (Sold
Separately)
The followings are the explanation of how to connect the common AC adapter
05 (sold separately) to charge. For details on the specified AC adapter (sold
separately), refer to “Introduction of Peripheral Devices” (zP.17).

◎ Turn the protruding side of the microUSB plug down and insert the
microUSB plug to the external connection jack of the product straightly.
Inserting the microUSB plug in the wrong direction may result in damage
to the external connection jack of the product.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of Cell
Phones
This model【SHV38】 cell phone complies with Japanese technical regulations
for exposure to radio waves and international guidelines on radio wave
protection.
This cell phone has been designed in observance of the Japanese technical
regulations regarding exposure to radio waves (*1) and limits to exposure to
radio waves recommended by equivalent international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set out by the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration with
the World Health Organization (WHO), and the permissible limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health condition. The Japanese technical regulations
and international guidelines define the limits using a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which represents the average
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the human body. The SAR
limit for cell phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this cell phone
when tested for use near the head is
the body, is 0.669
among individual products, but they all satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this cell phone while talking on the phone can be well
below that indicated above. This is due to the cell phone being designed to
only output the minimum power required to communicate with a base
station. Therefore in general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower
the power output of the cell phone.
This cell phone can be used in positions other than against your head. Use a
carrying case or similar accessory that holds the phone at least 1.5 cm
separated from the body and ensure no metal parts are located between you
and the cell phone. Under these conditions, this cell phone satisfies Japanese
technical regulations and international guidelines for radio wave protection.
The World Health Organization has stated that “a large number of studies
have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile
phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have
been established as being caused by mobile phone use”.
If you would like to know more detailed information, please refer to the WHO
website.
