◎ Depending on the operation procedure and usage environment, the temperature inside the product may get high and the product may even get heated. In such case, charging may stop for security reasons.

◎ Charging the internal battery while using the camera function etc. may lengthen the charging time.

◎ If you perform various operations with a specified charger (sold separately) connected to the product, charging/discharging may take place repeatedly in a short time. Frequently charging the internal battery shortens its service life.

◎ If you charge the internal battery when the battery has run out, the charging/incoming indicator may not illuminate soon. However, charging is in progress.

◎ If the charging/incoming indicator flashes in red, force the power off

( z

P.11) and turn the product on again. If the indicator continues to flash, stop charging the internal battery and contact an au shop or the Keitai

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of Cell

Phones

model【SHV38】 cell phone complies with Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio waves and international guidelines on radio wave protection.

This cell phone has been designed in observance of the Japanese technical regulations regarding exposure to radio waves (*1) 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 body. The SAR limit for cell phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this cell phone when tested for use near the head is 0990 W /kg (*2), and when worn on the body, is 0.669 among individual products, but they all satisfy the limit.

The actual SAR of this cell phone while talking on the phone can be well below that indicated above. This is due to the cell phone being designed to only output 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 cell phone.

This cell phone can be used in positions other than against your head. Use a carrying case or similar accessory that holds the phone at least 1.5 cm separated from the body and ensure no metal parts are located between you and the cell phone. Under these conditions, this cell phone satisfies Japanese technical regulations and international guidelines for radio wave protection.

The World Health Organization has stated that “a large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use”.

If you would like to know more detailed information, please refer to the WHO website.

Law (Article 14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
