As of 1 July 2017, the following measures should be taken to prevent
portable electronic devices with built-in lithium ion batteries from
igniting in the cargo space.

1. Please turn off the portable electronic device completely (sleep mode is
not acceptable).

2. Please protect the portable electronic devices by packing carefully e.g.
wrapped in clothing or in a strong suitcase etc., and take measures to
prevent accidental operation and damage.

For further details, please see the MLIT website.
