Before Using the FOMA Terminal

•Because the 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 the service area. Even when you are on a higher floor of a tall building or condominium and nothing blocks your view outside, the FOMA terminal may not be able to receive or transmit signals. Also communication may be interrupted even when the Antenna Indication Lamp on the FOMA terminal lights green indicating a strong signal reception with 3 antenna indication bar.

•Use the FOMA terminal in ways that do not disturb others in public places, crowded locations, or quiet locations.

•The FOMA terminal communicates via radio waves by converting voices into digital signals. If you move into an area where signal reception is poor, the digital signals may not be accurately decoded and what you hear may differ slightly from what was actually said.

•DOCOMO is not responsible for any economic losses incurred through lost communication opportunities caused by external factors such as malfunction or failure of the FOMA terminal, or electrical outage.

•The FOMA terminal can be operated in FOMA Plus-Areas and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Areas.

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

•This FOMA terminal does not support i-mode functions (i-mode mail, connection to official i-mode sites or i-αppli, etc.)

For Those Who Use the FOMA Terminal for the First Time
