DOCOMO W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS System

Thank you for purchasing "docomo STYLE series F-08A" mobile terminal.

Before and during use of your FOMA terminal, be sure to thoroughly read this
manual and instruction manuals that come with other optional devices to ensure
you are able to correctly use you FOMA terminal. For more detailed information,
contact "General Inquiries" using the phone number on the back of this manual.
F-08A is your capable partner. Please treat it with care and enjoy using it for years.

Before using your FOMA terminal

･

Because your FOMA 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 service area. Even when you are high up in a tall building or
condominium and nothing blocks your view outside, your FOMA terminal may
not be able to receive or transmit signals. Also, communication may be
interrupted even when the signal meter on your FOMA terminal indicates there
are strong radio waves and you are not moving (traveling).

･

Use your FOMA terminal in a way that does not disturb others in public spaces,
crowded locations or quiet places.

･

Because your FOMA terminal uses radio waves to communicate, it is possible
that a third party may attempt to tap your calls. However, the W-CDMA, GSM/
GPRS system 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 FOMA terminal encodes voice communication as digital data. When you
are operating your FOMA 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 (Phonebook, Schedule, Notepad,
Recorded messages, Voice memos, Movie memo, etc.) you registered in your
FOMA 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 FOMA terminal.

･

You are recommended to save important data to microSD card. Using DOCOMO
keitai datalink, you can transfer and save phonebook, mail, schedule and other
data to a PC.

･

The user hereby agrees that the user shall be solely responsible for the result of
the use of SSL/TLS.
Neither DOCOMO nor the cer tifier as listed herein makes any representation and
warranty as for the security in the use of SSL/TLS. If the data should be erased,
DOCOMO assumes no responsibility for the loss of any data.
Certifier : VeriSign Japan K.K., Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd., GlobalSign K.K., RSA
Security Japan Ltd., SECOM Trust Systems Co., Ltd., Comodo CA Ltd.

･

This FOMA terminal supports FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area.

･

FOMA terminal can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DOCOMO
and DOCOMO's roaming area.

Before using this manual

This FOMA terminal supports Kisekae Tool (→P90). When changing the design of
the menu screen using Kisekae Tool, the structure of some menus may be changed
according to the usage frequency depending on the menu type. Also, the number

General

・

F-08A is waterproof, however, do not al low water to seep into FOMA terminal and
do not allow accessories or optional devices to get wet.

- FOMA terminal is provided with waterproofness of IPX5 and IPX8 (a standard higher than
IPX7) by firmly closing the external connection jack cap and installing the back cover in a
locked state, however, it is not complete waterproofness. Do not install/remove the battery
pack or do not open/close the external connection jack cap and back cover in the rain or with
waterdrop adhered to them. Water may seep inside and cause corrosion. Also, accessories and
optional devices are not waterproof. Malfunctions, which are determined to be caused by water
as result of inspections, are not covered by the warranty. Since these conditions are outside the
scope of the warranty, a repair, if at all possible, is charged.

・

Clean FOMA terminal with a dry soft cloth (such as a cloth for eyeglasses).

- The display of FOMA terminal may have been applied special coating to improve clearness of
the color LCD. When cleaning FOMA terminal, rubbing it roughly with a dry cloth can scratch
the display. Take care when handling the unit, and clean it with a dry soft cloth (such as a cloth
for eyeglasses). Drops of water or dirt left on the display can cause stains or remove the
coating.

- If FOMA terminal is wiped with alcohol, paint thinner, benzine or detergent, the printing may
disappear or color may fade.

・

Clean the jack occasionally with a dry cotton swab etc.

- If the jack is soiled, connection gets worse and it may cause power to be turned off or
insufficient battery charge, so clean the jack with a dry cotton swab etc.
Also, be careful never to damage the jack when cleaning it.

・

Do not place FOMA terminal near an air-conditioner outlet.

- The rapid change in temperature may cause condensation, causing internal corrosion and
malfunction.

・

When using, be careful not to subject excessive force to FOMA terminal or the
battery.

- If FOMA terminal is crammed into a brimming bag or placed in a pocket and sat on, display,
internal PCBs or battery pack may be damaged or malfunction. And, if external devices are
plugged into the external connection jack (earphone/microphone jack), the breakage of the
connector or malfunction may result.

・

Carefully read the separate instructions that come with FOMA terminal, adapter
and desktop holder.

・

Do not rub or scrape the display with a metal piece etc.

- It may scratch the display, causing malfunction or damage.

To keep the FOMA terminal waterproof, replacement of parts is required every 2
years regardless of whether FOMA terminal appears normal or abnormal.
DOCOMO replaces the parts as a chargeable service. Bring FOMA terminal to
DOCOMO-specified repair office.

◆

Precautions

・

Securely lock the back cover and firmly close the external connection jack cap.
Even a fine obstacle (one hair, one grain of sand, tiny fiber, etc.) put between
contact surfaces may allow water to enter.

・

If FOMA terminal gets wet with water or other l iquids with the external connection
jack cap or back cover open, the liquid may get inside the terminal causing electric
shocks or malfunction. Stop using FOMA terminal, turn the power OFF, remove
the battery pack and contact a DOCOMO-specified repair office.

・

The external connection jack cap and the rubber packing of the inner lid play an
important role for keeping waterproof. Do not remove or scratch them. Also,
prevent dust from adhering to them.

Ocean water

Sand/Mud

If rubber gasket on the external connection jack cap or inner lid is damaged or
deformed, replace it at DOCOMO-specified repair office.

・

Do not leave water on FOMA terminal. In a cold region, water may freeze causing
malfunction.

・

Do not apply water flow stronger than allowed (e.g., such water flow that gives
you pain when applied to your skin directly from a faucet or shower). May cause
malfunction though F-08A provides waterproof performance of IPX5.

・

Do not wash FOMA terminal in a washing machine etc.

・

Accessories and optional devices are not waterproof.
When watching 1Seg etc. with FOMA terminal installed in the desktop holder, do
not use it in a bath room, shower room, kitchen or lavatory even if it is not
connected to the AC adapter.

・

Do not put FOMA terminal in hot water, use it in a sauna or appl y hot airflow (from
a hair dryer etc.) to it.

・

Never try to charge the battery pack when FOMA terminal is wet.

・

Do not poke the microphone, earpiece or speaker with a swab or sharp object.
May damage the waterproof performance.

・

Do not leave FOMA terminal wet. May short-circuit the power jacks.

・

FOMA terminal does not float on water.
