About using the terminal

The terminal supports LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/ GPRS and Wireless LAN Systems.
Because a terminal operates using radio frequencies, it cannot be used inside a tunnel, underground, in a building or other locations where radio waves do not reach, in locations with weak radio wave condition, or out of LTE/ FOMA service area. The services may not be available on the upper floors of high-rise apartments or buildings, even if there are no obstructions around you. On occasion, your calls may be disconnected even in areas with strong radio wave condition, even if you are not moving, or even if there are 4-signal icon on the terminal's display.
Because the 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 system automatically scrambles all calls through a private call feature. Therefore, even if the third party successfully intercepts your call, they will only hear noise.
The terminal operates on radio frequencies by converting voice into digital signals. If the caller moves into an area of adverse radio wave condition, the digital signal may not be restored accurately, and the voice received in the call may differ slightly from the actual voice.
The terminal supports the function that can be used by users and guests. Therefore some services or applications recognize them as the same user even after the user is switched. DOCOMO shall have no liabilities for any damage or troubles of customer or a third party resulting from using the function (P.184).
Note down the information saved in the terminal in a separate note on a regular basis or save to an external recording medium such as a microSD card or PC. 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.
As with PCs, some user-installed applications or accessed websites may disrupt the stability of the terminal performance, or unexpectedly transmit information via the Internet causing improper use of your location information as well as personal information recorded on the terminal. Therefore, verify the supplier and operating conditions of the applications or websites before using them.
This terminal has FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area support.
The terminal does not support i-mode sites (programs) or i-

The terminal automatically performs communication for synchronizing data, checking the latest software version, and maintaining a connection with the server, and for other purposes. If you transmit a large amount of data, such as when downloading applications or watching video, a packet communication charge becomes high. Subscription to Packet Pack/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
Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.
Even when silent mode is on, the following

If available memory in the microSD card or the terminal is low, running applications may not operate correctly. In that case, delete the saved data.
You can update software on the terminal to the latest one (P.225, P.228).
The operating system (OS) may be upgraded via software updates to improve the quality of the terminal. For this reason, you always need to use the latest OS version. And some applications that used in the previous OS version may not be available or some unintended bugs may occur.
You can use the terminal only with a docomo nano UIM card. If you have a docomo mini UIM card, UIM, or FOMA card, bring it to a docomo Shop to replace it with a docomo nano UIM card.
Set password etc. for screen lock to ensure the security of your terminal for its loss (P.180).
If your terminal is lost, change your each account password to invalidate authentication using a PC to prevent other persons from using Google services such as Gmail or Google Play, or SNS, etc.

On a video call, both speakers can see each other while talking.
- When you make a video call, voice call and packet communication charges will apply. When you receive a video call, packet communication charges will apply.
- Video calls are based on best-effort communication (which optimizes transmission speed depending on how busy your network is), so the quality of video images varies depending on your network environment.
- If your terminal fails to switch to the video call during a voice call, the massage appears on the screen and the voice call continues.
- Since imaging for video call varies by terminal model, your terminal and the other party's terminal may show different image in scope.

Note
This terminal supports "Emergency call location information". If you use the terminal to place a call to emergency numbers such as 110, 119, or 118, the information of a location where you are calling from (location information) is automatically notified to the Emergency call acceptance organization such as the Police Station. However, the Emergency call acceptance organization may not be able to figure out your exact location depending on the location where you place a call or radio wave condition. If you make a call hiding your caller ID, such as by entering a phone number with "184" for each call, your location information and phone number are not reported. However, when the Emergency call acceptance organization deems it necessary for lifesaving purposes, etc., they may decide to obtain your phone number and accurate location information from your GPS, regardless of your settings. Note that the areas/time for which the "Emergency call location information" is ready to be used vary depending on the preparatory state of each Emergency call acceptance organization.

When calling 110, 119 or 118 for emergency from the terminal, tell that you are calling from a mobile phone, and give your phone number and your current location precisely for checking callback from the police/fire department. Also, make a point to call in a stationary position to prevent the call from being dropped. Do not power off the terminal for at least 10 minutes after the emergency call just in case the Police or Fire/Ambulance may have to get in contact with you.
Note that you may not connect to the local Fire Department or Police Station depending on where you are calling from.
