Before Using the Terminal
The internal battery is a consumable
accessory. The usage duration of the battery
per one charge decreases gradually each time
the battery is recharged.
When the usage duration per one charge
becomes about half of a new battery, the life
of the internal battery is assumed to be
almost over.
Watching 1Seg etc. for a long time while
charging may shorten the lifetime of the
internal battery.
To check internal battery performance, from
the Home screen, tap and tap

An orange card is inserted in the tray by
default. Make sure to remove the orange card
before charging. The orange card prevents
the terminal from being charged.
It is recommended to use the AC Adapter 04
(optional) for charging.
The AC Adapter 04 (optional) is compatible
with AC 100 V to 240 V. For using the terminal
overseas, a plug adapter that fits the electrical
outlets in the country you stay is needed. Do
not use an electrical transformer for overseas
use to charge the terminal.
Use a compatible AC adapter or microUSB
cable for charging (P.250). If you use a charger
other than the compatible one, charging may
not be available or operations may not be
performed correctly.
Insert and remove the AC adapter cable or
microUSB cable slowly and evenly so that
excessive force is not applied.
When you start charging, notification LED on
the terminal turns red/orange/green, and
green light indicates that the battery level has
reached 90 % or more. To check the status of
charging, see the status bar at the top of the
screen or from the Home screen, tap and

complete, battery level is displayed as "100%"
at the status bar or "Battery level", and
"Charged." appears on the unlock screen
(P.41).
When you start charging with the terminal
powered off, the power turns on. However,
you cannot operate the terminal. Power off
the terminal in a place where the use is
prohibited such as in airplane or hospital for
this reason.
