・If USIM Card/handset with USIM Card installed is lost or

stolen, contact SoftBank Customer Support or Global Call

Center.

・SoftBank Mobile Corp. is not liable for damages from

accidental loss/alteration/repair of handset/SD Card

information (Contacts, image/sound files, etc.). Back up

Electromagnetic Safety

For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and

meets RF exposure guidelines when used with accessories

containing no metal, that position handset a minimum of 15

mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure

compliance with RF exposure guidelines.

FCC Notice

・This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

・Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the

user's authority to operate the equipment.

・The device complies with 15.205 of the FCC Rules.

Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part

15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help and for additional suggestions.

FCC RF Exposure Information

Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is

designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits

for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal

Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

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 0.443 W/kg, and

when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.513 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. SAR information on this model handset is on

file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant

section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC

ID YUW-201F.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can

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 the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile

devices is 2.0W/kg and the highest SAR value for this

device when tested at the ear was 0.562 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 this

User Guide**. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is

0.378 W/kg***. As SAR is measured utilizing the devices

highest transmitting power the 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.



*The tests are carried out in accordance with international

guidelines for testing.

** Please see Electromagnetic Safety for important notes

regarding body worn operation.

*** A method of measuring SAR when a mobile phone is used

at positions other than at the ear was established in March

2010 through an international standard (IEC62209-2). MIC

technical regulation was reported in October 2011 by the

Information and Communications Council.

RF Exposure Information/Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) Information

RF Exposure Information/Specific
Absorption Rate* (SAR) Information

This mobile phone 201F meets the MIC's**** 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 the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)** averaged over ten

grams of tissue.

The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to

assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The value of the limit is equal to the international guidelines

recommended by ICNIRP*****.

The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.453 W/kg

when tested for use at the ear.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, all phones meet MIC's

technical regulation.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power

level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation can be

well below the maximum value.



Use at positions other than at the ear



This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the

ear. By using an accessory such as a belt clip holster that

maintains a 1.0 cm separation with no metal (parts) between

the body and the mobile phone, this mobile phone will comply

with international guidelines for radio wave protection (***).



The World Health Organization has announced 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."
