Precautions common to the main unit, battery pack, charging
equipment, peripheral devices
Be sure to read the following hazards before use.
Be sure to use only the exclusive peripheral devices. Use of other peripheral devices might cause
overheating, fire, rupture, fault, or leakage of liquid.
Do not use or leave in places that get hot (near naked flames, near stoves, under the blazing sun,
etc.) or in places where flammable gases are generated, for example, while filling up with gasoline
at a gasoline stand. Doing so might cause fire, rupture, fault, or fire.
Before entering an area such as a gasoline stand where flammable gas is generated, be sure to
turn the product off. Failure to do so might ignite the gas.
Do not place the product inside a microwave oven, high-pressure container, etc. Doing so might
cause fire, rupture, fault, or fire.
Do not throw the product into a fire or heat it. Doing so might cause fire, rupture or fire.
Do not short-circuit the USB connector or other connection terminals. Do not allow conductive
foreign objects (metal fragments, pencil leads, etc.) to come into contact with or get inside the USB
connector or other connection terminals. Doing so might cause fire or a fault.
The customer is not allowed to disassemble, modify or repair the product. Doing so might
cause a fault, fire, electric shock, or injury. The Company is not liable even in the event of any
nonconformities arising on the product or peripheral devices as a result of modification, etc.
Modification of the product is in violation of the Wireless Telegraphy Act.
Be sure to read the following warnings before use.
Do not drop or subject to strong impact, such as throwing. Doing so might cause rupture,
overheating, fire, or a fault.
Do not use outside when you can hear thunder. Doing so might risk lightning strikes and electric
shock.
Do not let your hands, fingers and other parts of the body touch the USB connector or other
connection terminals. Doing so might cause electric shock, injury or a fault.
If the product is damaged because it is dropped or something, and its display is cracked or internal
parts are exposed, do not touch the cracked display or exposed parts with your hands. Doing so
might cause electric shock or injury from damaged parts. Contact an au shop or au Customer
Service Center.
Do not splash with water or other liquids. Also, never use in places subject to direct splashing with
water or pet urine, etc. or in humid places such as bath areas, or use with wet hands. Doing so
might cause electric shock or fault from short-circuiting or corrosion of electronic circuits. In the
event that the product is splashed with liquid, immediately disconnect the AC adapter's power plug.
Faults caused by wetting with water or humidity are not covered by the warranty and charges will
be incurred for repair.
When removing the battery cover, do not exert more than necessary force. The battery pack might
jump out, for example, and cause injury or a fault.
Do not operate the product while driving an automobile or motorized bicycle, riding a bicycle or
walking. Doing so may compromise traffic safety and cause an accident.
When inserting an earphone, etc. into the product, adjust the volume to the proper level.
Setting too loud a volume or using the earphone continuously for a long period of time might adversely
affect your ears. Also, raising the volume too high might prevent you from hearing sounds around you,
which might in turn lead to a traffic accident at a railroad crossing or pedestrian crossing.
