Handling cautions

General use

• Operating environment

Temperature: Operation: -10 °C to 50 °C {14 °F to 122 °F}

(IEC60068-2-1, 2)

Storage: -30 °C to 70 °C {-22 °F to 158 °F}

Humidity: Operation: 30 % to 80 % RH (No condensation)

Storage: 30 % to 90 % RH (No condensation)

Even within the above temperature/humidity ranges, operation for

a long time in extreme environments, smoking nearby, or operation

in places where oil is used or where there is a lot of dust will result

in product deterioration and will shorten the product life.

Also, when using the product in cold environments, the product

may take longer to start up and battery operation time may be

reduced.

If the product is wet in temperatures of 0 °C {32 °F} or below,

freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry off the computer in

such temperatures.

*1 Do not directly touch this product with your bare hands when

using it in a hot or cold environment.

• Do not place the product in the following areas, as doing so may

damage the product.

– Near electric appliances. The image may be distorted or noise

may occur.

• This product is designed to reduce physical shock applied to the

LCD and internal electrical components. However, protection

against malfunction due to such shock is not guaranteed. As with

any portable device, precautions should be taken to avoid any

damage.

• When operating the screen using the dedicated stylus (included

with certain models and also available as an option), do not firmly

press it down. Doing so may damage the dedicated stylus or result

in scratches or dents on the screen.

Handling cautions

• Do not place objects on the surface of the product or press down

hard on the product with sharp objects. The screen surface may

get scratched.

• Do not scratch the rear camera, barcode reader, or flash panel.

• Do not use the dedicated stylus when dust or dirt (e.g., oil) is on

the screen. Otherwise foreign particles on the screen/dedicated

stylus may scratch the screen surface or obstruct operation of the

dedicated stylus.

• Use the dedicated stylus only for touching the screen. Using it for

any other purpose may damage the dedicated stylus and result in

scratches on the screen.

• Confirm the safety and security of software before downloading or

installing it on the product. Installing malware or viruses can cause

malfunction and the disclosure of any private information stored in

the product, or may cause excessive sound volume.

• Turn off the product before removing the SIM card or SD card.

Failure to do so can result in data loss or damage to the SIM card,

SD card, or product.

• Do not place the product near a television or radio receiver. This

may cause television or radio interference.

• Keep the product away from magnets. Failure to do so may cause

malfunction.

• It is illegal in many areas to record a call without permission.

Always ask the other party for permission before recording a call.

• Follow these instructions and the Reference Manual to avoid any

damage to the devices. Carefully read the instruction manuals of

the peripheral devices.

– Use peripheral devices that conform to the product's

specifications.

– Connect to the connectors in the correct direction.

– If a connector is hard to insert, do not try forcibly. Check its

shape, direction, alignment of pins, etc.

Protecting your data

• To prevent accidental loss of data, we recommend that you back

up any important data that you store in the product, SIM card, and

SD card.

7Introduction

• To prevent the unintended disclosure of private information,

always confirm the destination before sending messages, file

attachments, or any other communications, such as email.

• Before disposing of the product or handing the product over to a

third party, remove the SIM card, SD card, and any other

accessories.

• Before disposing of the product or handing the product over to a

third party, perform a factory data reset (page 32) to erase any

data stored in the product.

• Before using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth features, take appropriate action to

secure your data.

Waterproof/dustproof

• The product is waterproof/dustproof when the interface cover and

headset jack cover are closed, and the battery and battery cover

are attached. Therefore, keep water and dust away from product's

internal components, accessories, and optional products.

• To prevent liquids, sand, dust, or any foreign objects from entering

the product, always keep the battery cover and battery clean and

make sure to firmly close the cover after opening. Take care not to

get anything caught between the cover or battery and the product.

• If the product is exposed to water droplets, wipe them off with a

dry, soft cloth and shake the product to remove the water droplets.

Next, remove the battery cover, and shake the product while

holding down the battery so that it does not detach to remove the

water. Then, with the battery still attached, wipe off the water

droplets on the battery and back side of the battery cover, and dry

thoroughly.

• Do not leave any water droplets on the product. Water droplets

may cause the micro USB port or headset jack to short circuit, or

create smears on the screen.

• If the product is wet, wipe off the moisture before connecting with

peripheral devices.

• Do not dry the product with an appliance or heat source such as a

microwave oven or dryer.

• Accessories

Do not use in the rain or in very humid places such as bathrooms

because the accessories are not waterproof/dustproof. Stop use if

they are worn on the body, because the inside may corrode due to

humidity from sweat and cause malfunction.

Maintenance

• When cleaning the product, make sure to turn it off.

• When cleaning the product, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. An

alcohol-based disinfectant may be used if necessary.

– If the product is particularly dirty, thoroughly wring a cloth

soaked in water, wipe off the dirt, and then wipe with a dry cloth.

– Do not clean the product with solvents such as benzene, thinner,

or strong alkaline detergent because they may affect the surface

of the product.

Battery

• The battery is a consumable item, and battery life varies with

usage conditions. Typical battery life is approximately one year or

about 500 charge cycles. As the battery reaches the end of its life,

the amount of time it can be used becomes dramatically shorter

and repeated charging does not restore its performance. When

this occurs, the battery should be replaced with a new one.

• Do not touch the terminals of the battery. Failure to observe this

may cause poor contact.

• When the battery is left installed in the product, it discharges

electricity gradually in small amounts even if the product's power is

off. If left for a long period (several months or more), the battery will

over discharge and its performance may deteriorate.

• Store the battery in environments with an ambient temperature



of -20 °C to 35 °C (-4 °F to 95 °F). If the battery is stored in other

environments, battery performance and battery life may be

reduced.

• When storing or transporting the battery, make sure that the

battery's terminals do not become dirty and that no foreign objects

or debris become attached to the battery's terminals.

9Introduction

• If battery charging is not completed after the specified charging

time has passed, remove the battery from the product. The battery

protection device may be damaged.

• You cannot charge an installed battery if it is not recognized by the

product. Make sure that you use the specified battery.

• Dispose properly in compliance with local waste regulations.
