Contents/Precautions

Before using the terminal

This terminal supports LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS, Wireless LAN System.
Because your terminal uses wireless transmission, it may not function in locations where it is difficult for radio waves to penetrate, such as tunnels, underground passages and some buildings, in areas where radio waves are weak, or out of Xi and FOMA service area. Even when you are high up in a tall building or condominium and nothing blocks your view outside, your terminal may not be able to receive or transmit signals. Also, communication may be interrupted even when there are strong radio waves with 4 signal status icons on the terminal and you are not moving (traveling).
Because your terminal uses radio waves to communicate, it is possible that a third party may attempt to tap your calls. However, the LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS automatically applies a confidential communication function to all calls, so even if a third party could somehow tap a call, they only hear noise.
Your terminal encodes voice communication as digital data. When you are operating your terminal while moving to a location subject to weaker radio wave conditions, the transmitted digital data may not be correctly decoded and as a result the decoded voice may differ somewhat from the actual voice.
Maintain a separate record of the data you saved in the terminal. Note that DOCOMO assumes no responsibility for any loss of saved contents of data resulting from malfunction, repair, changing of the model or other handling of the terminal.
In the terminal, as it is for a PC, some applications that you install may give instability of the operation, or may send your location information or personal information registered to the terminal to outside via the Internet and the information may be used improperly. Please thoroughly check a provider and operation status of the application etc. which you want to use beforehand and then use it.
You are recommended to save important data to microSD card or a PC.
This terminal supports Xi Area, FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area.
The terminal does not support i-mode sites (programs) or i-αppli.
You can use the terminal only with docomo mini UIM card. If you have a UIM or FOMA card, bring it to a docomo Shop to replace.
Even in Manner mode, shutter sound, auto focus lock sound, count down sound for self timer, and Find Me Ringtone sound for Bluetooth Low Energy setting are emitted.
You can check your own phone number in the following step. From the Home screen, →[docomo phonebook]→[My profile]
The terminal automatically performs communication for some functions, for example, to synchronize data, check the latest software or maintain connection with the server. If you transmit a large amount of data such as downloading applications or watching video, a packet communication charge becomes high. Subscription of packet flat-rate service is highly recommended.
Depending on the applications or service you use, packet communication charge may be applied even in Wi-Fi communication.

Contents/Precautions
The software on the terminal can be updated with the latest information.→P180
Improving the terminals quality or upgrading operation system may be included in the software update. And some applications used in the previous version may not be available or some unintended bugs may occur after software update.
Display is manufactured by taking advantage of highly advanced technology but some dots may be always or never lit. Note that, this shows characteristics of liquid crystal displays and not defects in the terminals.
When the memory of the microSD card or the terminal is almost full, running applications may not operate normally. In this case, delete saved data.
Google applications and service contents are subject to change without prior notice.
For the information on the services provided by Google, refer to the terms of use for Google Inc. And for the details on other web services, read terms of use for each service.
If your terminal is lost, change your each account password using a PC to prevent other persons from using Google services such as Google Talk, Gmail, Google Play, etc. and Twitter.
Set the screen lock to ensure the security of your terminal for its loss.→P135
The terminal supports only sp-mode, mopera U and Business mopera Internet. Other providers are not supported.
To use tethering, a subscription to sp-mode is required.
Packet communication charge when using tethering varies depending on the charging plan you use. Subscription of packet flat-rate service is highly recommended.
As Mobacas is a service using communications, using the service incurs packet communication charge. Subscription of packet flat-rate service is recommended.
For details on usage fee, refer to http:// www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/.
