DOCOMO W-CDMA System

Thank you for purchasing "docomo STYLE series F-04A" mobile terminal.

Before and during use of your FOMA terminal, be sure to thoroughly read this
manual and instruction manuals that come with other optional devices to ensure
you are able to correctly use you FOMA terminal. For more detailed information,
contact "General Inquiries" using the phone number on the back of this manual.
F-04A is your capable partner. Please treat it with care and enjoy using it for years.

Before using your FOMA terminal

･

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 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).

･

Use your FOMA terminal in a way that does not disturb others in public spaces,
crowded locations or quiet places.

･

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 system
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, Notepad,
Recorded messages, Voice memos, Movie memo, 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.
Neither DOCOMO nor the cer tifier as listed herein makes any representation and
warranty as for the security in the use of SSL. 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.

･

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

･

FOMA terminal can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DOCOMO
and DOCOMO's roaming area.

Before using this manual

This FOMA terminal supports Kisekae Tool (→P92). When changing the design of
the menu screen using Kisekae Tool, the structure of some menus may be changed
according to the usage frequency depending on the menu type. Also, the number
assigned to menu item (item number) may not be applicable to some menu items.

Latest information about this manual can be downloaded from NTT DOCOMO
website.

Handling precautions

◆

General

・

F-04A is waterproof, however, do not allow water to seep into the handset and do
not allow accessories or optional devices to get wet.

- This FOMA terminal is waterproof to IPX5 and IPX7 standards if the external connection jack
cap is strictly closed as well as the back cover is mounted and locked, however, it is not
completely waterproof. In the rain or with the handset wet, do not remove/insert the battery
pack or open/close the external connection jack cap or the back cover. Seeped water may cause
corrosion inside the terminal. Accessories and optional devices are not waterproof.
Malfunctions deemed to have been caused by water are not covered by the warranty. Since
these conditions are outside the scope of the warranty, a repair, if at all possible, is charged.

・

Clean FOMA terminal with a dry soft cloth (such as a cloth for eyeglasses).

- The display of FOMA terminal may have been applied special coating to improve clearness of
the color LCD. When cleaning FOMA terminal, rubbing it roughly with a dry cloth can scratch
the display. Take care when handling the unit, and clean it with a dry soft cloth (such as a cloth
for eyeglasses). Drops of water or dirt left on the display can cause stains or remove the
coating.

- If FOMA terminal is wiped with alcohol, paint thinner, benzine or detergent, the printing may
disappear or color may fade.

・

Clean the jack occasionally with a dry cotton swab.

- If the jack is dirty, the contact may become poor and the power may shut OFF. A dirty jack
can result in poor charging, so clean it with a dry cloth or cotton swab.

・

Do not place FOMA terminal near an air-conditioner outlet.

- The rapid change in temperature may cause condensation, causing internal corrosion and
malfunction.

・

When using, be careful not to subject excessive force to FOMA terminal or the
battery.

- If FOMA terminal is crammed into a brimming bag or placed in a pocket and sat on, display,
internal PCBs or battery pack may be damaged or malfunction. And, if external devices are
plugged into the external connection jack (earphone/microphone jack), the breakage of the
connector or malfunction may result.

・

Carefully read the separate instructions that come with FOMA terminal, adapter
(including battery charger) and desktop holder.

・

Do not rub or scrape the display with a metal piece etc.

- It may scratch the display, causing malfunction or damage.

・

Do not press the surface of the touch panel strongly or operate it with sharp
objects such as a nail, a ballpoint pen and a pin.

- It may damage the touch panel.

◆

FOMA terminal

・

Avoid extreme temperature.

- Use the FOMA terminal where the ambient temperature ranges between 5 and 40℃ (for
temperatures of 36
time) and the ambient humidity ranges between 45 and 85%.

・

FOMA terminal may affect land-line phones, TVs or radios in use nearby, so use
it as far as possible from these appliances.

・

Maintain a separate record of the data you saved in your FOMA terminal.

- If the data is deleted, DOCOMO assumes no responsibility for the loss of any data.

・

Do not plug external devices into the external connection jack (earphone/
microphone jack) at a slant, or do not pull it forcibly while it is plugged.

- May cause malfunction or damage.

・

Do not fold FOMA terminal with the strap held inside.

- May cause malfunction or damage.

・

It is normal for FOMA terminal to become warm during use or charging. Continue
to use it.

・

Do not leave FOMA terminal with the camera in areas under strong direct
sunlight.

- May cause discoloring or burn-in of materials.

・

The terminal should normally be used with the external connection jack cap
closed.

- Dust and/or water brought into FOMA terminal cause troubles.

・

Do not use FOMA terminal with the back cover removed.

- It may cause the battery to come off, or may cause a malfunction or damage.

・

Do not put an extremely thick sticker etc. on the display or keypad.

- May cause malfunction.

・

Do not turn FOMA terminal OFF while using microSD card.

- It may cause data loss or malfunction.
