Docomo FOMA SH906i Instruction Manual

‘08.5

DoCoMo

W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS System

Thank you for purchasing the FOMA SH906i.
Make sure thoroughly read this manual and the manuals
included with optional accessories before and during use to
ensure proper operation. If any of the contents in this manual
are unclear, please contact number listed in “General
Inquiries” on the back of this manual.
The FOMA SH906i is designed to make your everyday life
more convenient. Careful use will ensure a long service life.

Using the FOMA terminal

Because it relies on radio signals, the FOMA terminal 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. There may be times when the terminal cannot be
used 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.

Make sure not to disturb others when using in public places, places

with many people or quiet places.

Because the FOMA terminal uses electrical signals, it is possible for

a third party to listen in on a conversation. However, the W-CDMA
and GSM/GPRS system automatically applies 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,

schedule, Text memo, Record message, Voice memo, Movie
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.

Save the important data to the microSD Card. Or, forward and store

the information such as a phonebook, mail and schedule to a PC
using DoCoMo keitai datalink.

The user hereby agrees that the user shall be solely responsible for

the result of the use of SSL. Neither DoCoMo nor the certifier as
listed herein makes any representation and warranty as for the
security in the use of SSL. In the event that the user shall sustain
damage or loss due to the use of SSL, neither DoCoMo nor the
certifier shall be liable for any such damage or loss.

During a call in which
Hands-free is set, keep the
FOMA terminal away from
the ears.
When you attach the
earphone/microphone to
the FOMA terminal to play
games or music, do not
make the volume too loud.

Excessive high volume may damage your
hearing. Also it may prevent you from hearing
the ambient sounds and cause an accident.

If you have a weak heart,
take extra precautions when
setting functions such as
the Vibrator and Ring tone
volume for incoming calls.

Various settings may have effects on your heart.

If you hear thunder while

May cause injuries to your hand or fingers.

Handling mobile phones near
electronic medical equipment

The safety precautions detailed here conform
to the guidelines drawn up by the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference
Japan, regarding the protection of electronic
medical equipment from signals emitted by
mobile phones.

Observe the following in
hospitals or other medical
facilities.

Do not take your FOMA terminal into

operating rooms, ICUs (Intensive Care
Units) or CCUs (Coronary Care Units).

Turn off your FOMA terminal inside

hospital wards.

Turn off your FOMA terminal even when

you are in an area outside hospital wards,
such as a hospital lobby, since electronic
medical equipment may be in use nearby.

Where a medical facility has specific

instructions prohibiting the carrying and
use of mobile phones, observe those
instructions strictly.

If Auto power ON function is set to ON,

disable this function before turning off your
mobile phone.

Turn off your FOMA
terminal in crowded places
such as rush-hour trains in
case somebody nearby is
using an implanted cardiac
pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter-defibrillator.

Electromagnetic signals may affect the
operation of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and implanted cardioverter-defibrillators.

If you have an implanted
cardiac pacemaker or an
implanted
cardioverter-defibrillator,
always carry or use your
FOMA terminal at least 22
cm away from your implant.

Electromagnetic signals may affect the
operation of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and implanted cardioverter-defibrillators.

Electromagnetic signals may affect the
operation of electronic medical equipment.

Handling precautions

General notes

Do not expose to water.

FOMA terminal, battery pack, adapters
(chargers) and FOMA card are not
waterproof. Do not use in humid or steamy
areas such as bathrooms and avoid
exposing to rain and other forms of
moisture. If FOMA terminal is carried close
to skin, perspiration may cause internal
components to corrode and result in
malfunction. Note that if problem is found
to be due to moisture, handset and parts
are not covered by warranty and in some
cases may be irreparable. Even where
repairs are possible, repair charges will be
incurred since damage is not covered by
warranty.

Clean only with a soft and dry cloth

(such as the type used for
eyeglasses).

The surface of the handset’s LCD has a
special coating to improve the visibility of
the color display. Forceful rubbing of LCD
with a dry cloth may scratch LCD surface.
Handle the handset carefully and clean
using a soft and dry cloth (such as the type
used for eyeglasses). Note also that LCD
coating may peel off or stain if moisture or
soiling is left on the surface for a long
period. Never use chemicals such as
alcohol, thinners, benzene or detergents,
as these agents may erase the printing on
the handset or cause discoloration.

Occasionally clean terminals with a

dry cotton swab.

Unclean terminals may result in poor
connections and loss of power.
Additionally, keep terminal clean with a dry
cloth or cotton swab to prevent charge
performance loss.

Do not place the handset near an air

conditioning vent.

Condensation formed due to rapid
changes in temperature may cause
internal corrosion and lead to malfunction.

Do not apply excessive force to the

Bluetooth devices).

Radio frequencies

The radio frequencies the Bluetooth
function of the FOMA terminal uses
are as follows:

This wireless device uses 2.4 GHz band.
The modulation system is the FH-SS
system and a coverage distance is 10 m or
less. All radio frequencies are used and
the frequencies for mobile object
identifiers shall not be avoided.

22

Cautions on using Bluetooth

devices Bluetooth operates at radio
frequencies assigned to the
in-house radio stations for a mobile
object identifier that have to be
licensed and is used in production
lines of a factory, specific
unlicensed low power radio
stations, and amateur radio
stations (hereafter, referred to
“another radio station”) in addition
to industrial, scientific or medical
devices, or home electric
appliances such as microwave
ovens.

1. Before using this product, make
sure that “another radio station”
is not operating nearby.

2. If radio interference between this
product and “another radio
station” occurs, avoid
interference by moving
immediately to another place or
“turning off the power”.

3. Contact the number listed in
“General Inquiries” on the back
of this manual for further details.

FeliCa reader/writer

The FeliCa reader/writer function in

the FOMA terminal uses weak
electric waves in the handling of

radio station.

The frequency in use is the 13.56

MHz band. When another reader/
writer is being used nearby, keep
enough distance from it. Make sure
that there is no radio station using
the same frequency band in the
nearby area.

Caution

Never use the FOMA terminal that is

modified. Using a modified device
violates the Radio Law.

The FOMA terminal has acquired the
certification of conformity with technical
regulations for the specified radio station
based on the Radio Law, and the
“Technical Conformity Mark ” is printed
on the model nameplate of the FOMA
terminal as a proof. If the screws of FOMA
terminal are removed and a modification is
given to the inside, the certification of
conformity with technical regulations will
become invalid. Never use the FOMA
terminal without the valid certification.
Doing so violates the Radio Law.

Be careful when using the FOMA

terminal while driving a motor
vehicle.

While driving, using a mobile phone in
hand is regarded as a punishable act. If
there is no choice but to receive a call, use
Hands-free and tell the caller that you will
“call back” and then pull over to a safe
place to make a call.
