FOMA terminal

･

F-11C supports W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS.

･

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

Introduction

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).

･

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 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, Memo, Recorded messages, Voice memos,
Moving picture memos, 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 certifier 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., Entrust, Inc.

･

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

･

Descriptions in this manual are for the FOMA terminal with a DOCOMO's UIM inserted.

■

SIM unlock

This FOMA terminal supports SIM unlock. If you release SIM lock, you can use UIM by a carrier other than
NTT DOCOMO.

･

The SIM unlock service is provided at a docomo Shop.

･

A SIM unlock charge is separately required.

･

If you use a UIM other than by DOCOMO, available services and functions will be limited. DOCOMO is not
liable to any failures or malfunctions.

･

For details of SIM unlock, refer to NTT DOCOMO website.

Waterproofness

F-11C provides waterproofness of IPX5*1,

*2

IPX8

with firmly closing the external connection
jack cap and installing the back cover in a locked
state.

Introduction

*1

IPX5 means that a phone keeps functioning after
applying a jet flow of 12.5 L/min. from every
direction from a distance of approximately 3 m for at
least 3 minutes using water nozzle in 6.3 mm inner
diameter.

*2

For F-11C, IPX8 means that a phone keeps
functioning after F-11C is slowly submerged to
depth of 1.5 m in static tap water at room
temperature, left there for 30 minutes and then taken
out, and the mobile phone keeps shooting still
images or moving pictures in approximately 30
minutes in static tap water at room temperature.

✜

What you can do with waterproofness
of F-11C

・

You can talk or watch 1Seg programs without
using an umbrella in the rain (for rainfall of 20
mm or less per hour).

- When your hands or the FOMA terminal are
wet, avoid installing/removing the back cover
or opening/closing the external connection
jack cap.

・

You can also shoot still images and moving
pictures in the pool depth of 1.5 m.

- Do not perform other operations underwater
