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-

D

ppli.

Content s/Precautio ns

･

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

®

communication.

sounds are not muted: the shutter sound; the
sounds produced when starting and ending
video recording; alarms; sounds from video
and music; and the sound produced when
you tap during a call.

･

The name of the operator is displayed on the
lock screen (P.42).

･

To check your phone number (own number),
from the Home screen,

u

[Settings]

u

[About phone]u[Status]u[SIM status] to see
"My phone number".

･

To check the software version, from the Home
screen,

u

[Settings]u[About phone].

･

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.

With VoLTE, you can make high-quality voice and
video calls. You can also switch between voice and
video calls.
To use VoLTE, both parties must meet the following
requirements.

- Both terminals support VoLTE

- Within the area where VoLTE is available

- "Preferred network type" (P.206) in "Mobile
networks" is set to "4G (preferred)/3G/GSM" or "4G/
3G", and "Enable VoLTE" (P.206) is ON

･

With VoLTE (HD+), you can make voice and video
calls with sound that is much higher quality than
with VoLTE.
To use VoLTE (HD+), the usage requirements of VoLTE
must be met, and both you and the other party must
have models which support VoLTE (HD+).

･

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.
