Be sure to read this manual before and during
use to ensure proper operation.
Using the handset
The handset supports W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS and
Wireless LAN System.
Because the handset 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 handset 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 handset 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 handset 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 wea k signal, the voice
may not be heard correctly.
Keep a separate memo and note information (e.g.
the phonebook, calendar, notepad, voice memo,
answering memo) stored in the handset. DOCOMO
shall not be liable for any loss of content due to a
failure, repair, upgrade or other handling of the
handset.

performance or unexpectedly transmit information
via the Internet causing improper use of your
location information and personal information stored
in the handset. 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 handset supports the FOMA Plus-Area and the
FOMA HIGH-SPEED area.
Unlocking SIM lock
The handset can unlock the SIM lock. Unlock the
SIM lock to use non-DOCOMO SIM cards.
