■ Common precautions
･ microUSB connection terminal cover, headset connection terminal
cover and battery cover
Make sure that the microUSB connection terminal cover and headset
connection terminal cover are firmly closed, and the battery cover is securely
attached. Just a small particle (a hair, etc.) on the seals can cause water
leaks.
Do not open/close the microUSB connection terminal cover or headset
connection terminal cover or attach/remove the battery cover with gloved
hands. Just a small particle (a hair, etc.) on the seals can cause water leaks.
Wipe off any minuscule droplets of water or dirt with a clean dry cloth before
closing the covers.
If the microUSB connection terminal cover, headset connection terminal
cover or battery cover is deteriorated or damaged, the waterproof property
becomes ineffective. In such case, contact an au shop near you or Secure
cell phone support center.
･ If any liquid other than plain water gets on the product
If any liquid other than plain water (e.g. seawater, detergent, alcohol, juices)
gets on the product, immediately rinse it with plain water. You can wash the
product under a mild flow (less than 6 liters per minute) of tap water at room
temperature (5 ℃ to 35 ℃ ) at a distance of about 10 cm from the faucet or
showerhead. If the product gets dirty, wash it with your hands holding the
battery cover, microUSB connection terminal cover and headset connection
terminal cover so that they do not open. Do not use a brush or sponge.
･ After the product gets wet
After the product gets wet, drain water, and wipe the main unit and the battery
cover with a clean dry cloth without removing the battery cover. In cold
climates, water on the main unit may turn to frost. Using the product with frost
may cause a fault. Do not leave the product without wiping off water. (No
special measures against condensation have been implemented in this
product.) Do not leave the product without wiping off water. Water may get in
the back side , power key or volume key parts. If that happens, remove the
water by shaking the product. (Check your surroundings and be carful not to
drop the product.) Wipe off the remaining water quickly with a clean dry cloth.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of cell phones
This model SOL21 mobile phone complies with Japanese technical regulations
and international guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves. This mobile
phone has been designed in observance of the Japanese technical regulations
(*1)
regarding exposure to radio waves
and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by equivalent international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set out by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration with the
World Health Organization (WHO), and the permissible limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health condition. The Japanese technical regulations and international guidelines
define the limits using a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR), which represents the average amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The
highest SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.608 W/
®
).
kg. There may be slight differences in SAR levels among individual products, but
they all satisfy the limit. The actual SAR of this mobile phone while talking on the
phone can be well below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes in
the power level of the mobile phone to ensure it only outputs the minimum power
required to communicate with a base station. Therefore in general, the closer you
are to a base station, the lower the power output of the mobile phone.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than against your ear. This
mobile phone satisfies the international guidelines when used with au Carrying
Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately) recommended by KDDI
In case you are not using the au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold
separately), use a product that contains no metal parts, and one that can hold the
mobile phone at least 1.5 cm away from your body.
