General Notes

Usage Basics

・Handset employs radio waves. Signals may be disrupted even

within service areas if you are indoors, underground, inside
a tunnel or inside a vehicle. If you move to a location with
poor signal strength, a call or Digital TV viewing may be
suddenly cut off.

・When using handset in public places, take care not to annoy

other people around you. Use of handset is prohibited in
some public places such as in theaters or on buses and
trains.

・Handset is a wireless station under Japanese Radio Law.

You may be requested to submit your handset for inspection
based on this law.

・Use of handset near a landline phone, TV or radio may

affect the image and sound quality of the equipment.

・Handset employs a digital system to maintain a high level

of communication quality even at very low signal levels.
However, calls may be suddenly cut off when the signal
strength becomes too weak.

・The digital system provides a high level of privacy

protection. However, the possibility of someone
eavesdropping on your conversation cannot be ruled out as
long as radio waves are used.

・Data stored on handset may be corrupted or lost on the

following occasions:
・Handset is used improperly.
・Handset is exposed to static electricity or electric noise.
・Handset is turned off during operation.
・Battery is completely discharged.
・Handset malfunctions or is sent for repairs.
SoftBank accepts no liability whatsoever for the corruption
or loss of stored data. Be sure to keep a separate memo of
important data to limit damage caused by data corruption or
loss to a minimum.

・Be sure to charge battery before using handset for the first

time or if handset has not been used for a long time. When
battery is stored for a long time, it discharges over time
even if it is not used.

・When handset is used for extended periods of time,

especially in high temperature conditions, handset surface
could become hot. Please use caution when touching handset
under such conditions.

・Prolonged use or repeatedly flashing Display or other light

may adversely affect the body. If you feel discomfort or
pain, immediately discontinue use and consult a doctor.

・If taken out of Japan, some items may require

documentation certifying export is not controlled,
prohibited, or restricted by Export Trade Control Order or
Foreign Exchange Order. Basically, no such documentation
is required to take handset out of Japan and bring it back
for personal use on vacations or short business trips. In
some cases, however, export permit may be required if
handset is to be used by or transferred to another party. US
government export permit may be required to take handset
to countries on which US government has imposed export
restrictions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria).
For details on export laws, regulations and procedures,

SoftBank 009Z meets the MIC * technical regulation for
exposure to radio waves.
The technical regulation established permitted levels of
radio frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)** averaged over ten
grams of tissue. SAR limit includes a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age/health.
The value of SAR limit is equal to the international guidelines
recommended by ICNIRP***. All mobile phones should be
confirmed to comply with the regulation before sale to the
public.
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.543 W/kg
when tested for use at the ear.
The test for SAR was conducted in accordance with MIC
testing procedure, using standard operating positions, with
the phone transmitting at its highest permitted power level.
While there may be differences between SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, all phones meet
MIC technical regulation. Although SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, actual SAR of the phone during
operation can be well below the maximum value.
For more information about SAR, see the following websites:

The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organization through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handset as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.427 W/kg, and
when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.326 W/
kg.

Body-worn Operation: This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept

1.0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.0
cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back
of the handset. The use of beltclips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly.

The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines.

European RF Exposure Information

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/
kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at
the ear was 0.708 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range
of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on
the body as described in SoftBank Body SAR Policy. In this
case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.656 W/kg. As SAR is
measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power
actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below
that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to
keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
*Tests carried out in accordance with international guidelines
for testing.
