Charging Handset

Battery is built into handset.

 Internal Battery

 Charging with AC Adaptor

Internal Battery

A lithium-ion battery is built into 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 performance and life of 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 handset)

Bulges of Internal Battery

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

28/73

Getting Started

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.

Insert USB Type-C plug of AC Adaptor into External Connection Jack

Fingerprint Authentication Function

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.
