Introduction

Thank you for purchasing “AQUOS PHONE f SH-13C”. Make sure to read this manual before and during use to ensure proper operation.

SH-13C supports W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS and

Wireless LAN System.

Because the FOMA terminal relies on radio signals,

it cannot be used in places with no signal (such as tunnels, underground or in buildings), in places with a weak signal or outside the FOMA service area. You may not use the FOMA terminal in the upper floors of a building even with no obstructions in sight. There may also be times when the signal is strong and you are not moving but the call is interrupted.

Because the FOMA terminal uses electrical signals,

it is possible for a third party to listen in on a conversation. However, since the W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS systems automatically apply privacy to every call, a third party that tries to listen in only hears static.

The FOMA terminal converts conversations into a

digital signal and sends it to the other party over the radio. If the signal cannot be reconverted properly by such as moving to an area with a weak signal, the voice may not be heard correctly.

Keep a separate memo and note information (e.g.

phonebook, calendar, notepad, voice memo, answering memo) stored in the FOMA terminal. DOCOMO shall not be liable for any loss of content due to a failure, repair, upgrade or other handling of the FOMA terminal.

As with PCs, some user-installed applications etc.

may disrupt the stability of your FOMA terminal performance or unexpectedly transmit information via the Internet causing improper use of your location information and personal information stored in the FOMA terminal. Therefore, verify the supplier and operating conditions of the applications to be used before using them.

It is recommended to save the important data to the

microSD Card.

The FOMA terminal supports the FOMA Plus-Area

and the FOMA HIGH-SPEED area.

The FOMA terminal can unlock the SIM card. Unlock the SIM card to use non-DOCOMO SIM cards.

SIM card can be unlocked at a docomo Shop. Commission is incurred separately for unlocking SIM

card.

When using non-DOCOMO SIM card, some

services and functions are unavailable. DOCOMO shall not be liable for guaranteeing operation of the FOMA terminal.

For details on unlocking SIM card, refer to

DOCOMO website.
