DOCOMO W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS System

Thank you for selecting "Rakuraku phone 7 F-09B".

Both before and during use of your FOMA mobile 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 your FOMA
mobile terminal. For more information, you may contact us as mentioned on the back of this manual.
F-09B is your able partner. Please treat it with care and enjoy using it for years.

Before using your FOMA terminal

･

Because your FOMA terminal uses radio waves, 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 wave
signals 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 is a
strong signal 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, GSM/GPRS 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 signals, 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 you register in your FOMA terminal. If the data should be deleted,
DOCOMO assumes no responsibility for the loss of any data.

･

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/TLS.
Neither DOCOMO nor the certifier as listed herein makes any representation and warranty as for the security
in the use of SSL/TLS. 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., Entrust, Inc.

･

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

･

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

･

F-09B does not support the bilingual function.

When using FOMA terminal for the first time

will be able to understand an outline of the preparation for using FOMA terminal and basic operations.

Do not soak the terminal in tap water or the pool for
more than 30 minutes.

・

When you use the terminal in swimming pool, obey
rules of the facility.
