Internal Storage/SD Card Cautions

Data on Internal Storage/SD Card

Data on internal storage/SD Card may be lost or altered due to accidents, malfunctions, repairs, handset upgrade/replacement, mishandling, etc. Back up important data regularly. SoftBank Corp. is not liable for any damages resulting from loss or alteration of data.

• Do not insert or remove the SD card forcefully. Do not touch the terminals or expose them to metal objects.
• Never power off the device while reading or writing data.
• Make sure not to erase or overwrite data accidentally.

microSDXC Card

The handset supports microSDXC cards (SDXC-compatible SD cards). microSDXC cards are supported only by SDXC-compatible devices.

Exchanging Data with Non-SDXC-Compatible Devices

To exchange data between the handset and non-SDXC-compatible devices, use SD cards (microSD/microSDHC cards) that are supported by both the handset and those devices. Inserting a microSDXC card used in the handset into a non-SDXC-compatible device may corrupt the card's data. In such cases, do not format the microSDXC card on that device, even if prompted to do so.

Formatting deletes all data on the microSDXC card and changes the file system. The original storage capacity may become unavailable after formatting. To use a corrupted microSDXC card, format it on an SDXC-compatible device.

Save Location

By default, data, including photos and videos taken with the handset, is saved in internal storage. Even with downloaded commercially available applications that are described as saving data on the SD card, data is saved in internal storage.

To save photos and videos taken with the handset on the SD card, insert the SD card before using the camera, then change the save location as follows.

On the Home screen, tap (Camera).

Charging the Handset

The battery is built into the handset.

Internal Battery

A lithium-ion battery is built into the handset; it is not removable.

Recycling

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

Battery Cautions

Storage

To help maintain the performance and life of the Internal Battery, do not store in the following conditions (battery level should be at approximately 40% for optimal storage).

· Full (immediately after charging is complete) · Exhausted (too low to power on the handset)

Bulges of the Internal Battery

Depending on use, bulges may appear near the end of battery life; this does not affect safety.

Internal Battery Replacement

Internal Battery is a consumable item; may need to be replaced if operating time shortens noticeably. Internal Battery is not user replaceable; its replacement incurs fees and requires handset submission to a SoftBank Shop or other appropriate servicer. For details, contact a SoftBank Shop or Customer Service.

Charging with AC Adaptor

Use an AC Adaptor (USB Type-C™ quick charge AC Adaptor for USB PD [ZSDBAS] (SB-AC20-TCPD)) (optional accessory). For information on other peripheral devices, see SoftBank Website.

3

After charging, unplug AC Adaptor from outlet and disconnect from handset

Indications while Charging

Charging/Notification Lamp

- If the Charging/Notification Lamp is blinking, charging is not working properly. Make sure you are using the charger and products specified by SoftBank Corp. If you are using only specified products, contact a SoftBank Shop or Customer Service.

Lock Screen while Charging

Charging progress appears on the lock screen.

• "Charging": normal charging
• "Charging rapidly": rapid charging
• "Charging slowly": low-speed charging; the handset begins low-speed charging depending on conditions, such as when nearly charged.

! Charging Cautions

Water Resistance

The AC Adaptor is not waterproof. Never connect a USB Type-C plug while the handset or charger is wet.

The handset is water resistant; however, if a USB Type-C plug is inserted while it is wet, liquid (tap water, beverage, sea water, pet urine, etc.) or a foreign object adhered to the handset or a USB Type-C plug may cause overheating, burnout, fire, malfunction, burns, etc. due to electric shock, short-circuiting, etc.

Handling Cords

Do not pull, bend, or twist the cord; may damage the cord.
