! Charging Cautions

Water Resistance

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

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 handset or a USB Type-C plug may cause overheating, burnout, fire, malfunction, burns, etc. due to electric shock, short-circuiting, etc.

Hold finger to sensor to authenticate and use handset. Use this function to unlock screen or use it as a Back/Recents key.

Fingerprint Authentication Function Cautions

Observe the following when using the fingerprint authentication function.

• Authentication is based on fingerprint characteristics. This function may be unusable if your fingerprint characteristics are not prominent.
• Ability to authenticate (assuming finger is held to sensor correctly) depends on conditions of use. Saving your fingerprint may be difficult if finger is in any of the following conditions. Washing/wiping hands, using different finger, saving a wider area, etc. may improve capability.
• Wrinkled with moisture (e.g., after a bath)
• Wet with water, sweat, etc.
• Dry
• Covered with handcream, etc.
• Stained with mud or oil
• Rough or damaged (cut, sore, etc.)
• Fingerprint is faint (finger surface is worn)
• Fingerprint is deformed due to weight gain or loss
• Finger surface condition at the time of authentication is extremely different than when fingerprint was saved
• Fingerprint authentication technology does not guarantee successful personal authentication/verification. SoftBank Corp. is not liable for any damages resulting from use of handset by third party or lost opportunities to use handset.

Troubleshooting

Q. Failure to save fingerprint

A. Keep your finger pressed on the sensor slightly harder. Using a different finger may also improve authentication performance.

Fingerprint Sensor Cautions

Observe the following when using Fingerprint Sensor.

• Do not hit or subject handset to excessive shock. May cause malfunction or damage. Do not scratch sensor surface or poke with a pen, pin, or other pointed object.
• Do not place stickers on sensor surface or mark with ink.
• Dust, smudges, or other soiling on sensor may affect authentication. Clean the Fingerprint Sensor surface from time to time.
• Holding finger to sensor for too short/long a time may affect authentication. Hold finger straight on sensor so that spiral of fingerprint is in center of sensor.
• Fingerprint Sensor may not activate if you start saving your fingerprint or performing authentication with your finger on the sensor. Release it and retry.

Performing Fingerprint Authentication

In authentication window, hold finger to sensor

Fingerprint is authenticated.

Troubleshooting

Q. Fingerprint is not authenticated

A. Remove finger then try authenticating again. Or, Flick lock screen up and unlock screen using backup unlock method set when saving fingerprint.

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is a system enabling voice calls over LTE networks. Compared to voice calls over conventional 3G connections, high-sound quality calls and reduced time until ringtones sound are possible. VoLTE (HD+) provides a clearer and more natural quality call than conventional VoLTE.

• VoLTE/VoLTE (HD+) are available when the counterpart model is respectively a VoLTE- or VoLTE (HD+)-compatible model from SoftBank/Y!mobile. In addition, it is necessary for both handset and the counterpart model to be within the SoftBank 4G LTE (FDD LTE) service area, with "Preferred network type" set to "5G (recommended)" or "4G", and "4G Calling" enabled.
• See "Service web page (https://www.softbank.jp/mobile/service/global/overseas/volte/)" (Japanese) for information on countries and regions where VoLTE international roaming is supported.

VoLTE/VoLTE (HD+) use 4G network service, and are unavailable when 4G network service is disabled on handset. If VoLTE/VoLTE (HD+) are unavailable, follow the steps below to check whether 4G network service is enabled.

HD Voice

HD Voice supports a wide range of audio tones for clearer, more natural-quality voice calls.

• Available when the counterpart model is an HD Voice-compatible model from SoftBank/Y!mobile. - HD Voice is compatible with VoLTE and 3G network. Use HD Voice with VoLTE for voice calls of even higher quality.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated placeholder underscores where none should exist in the GT. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
