Thank you for selecting the “mova P253i”
Before or during use of the mova P253i, make sure that you thoroughly read this manual and the separate manuals such as for the battery pack so that you can use the mova correctly. If you feel any inconvenience in reading the manual, contact the DoCoMo Information Center listed on the back page of this manual.
The mova P253i is designed to be your reliable partner. Treat it carefully at all times to ensure long-term performance.

Before using your mova

DoCoMo mobile phone uses radio waves, and cannot be used in places where radio waves do not reach, such
P
as inside tunnels, underground, or in buildings, where radio waves are weak even out of doors, or out of the service area. It may not be used in high-rise buildings even where your antenna is unobstructed. You may also experience interference even when you stand still and the radio waves are strong enough with the three antennas displayed.
Use the mova carefully to avoid disturbing other people when in public, or in crowded or quiet places.
P
Since the mova uses radio waves as the medium of telecommunication, calls may be tapped by a third party.
P
However, the digital system has a tapping prevention function, so your conversation will be incomprehensible to third parties.
The mova changes your voice into digital signals and sends them to the other party. In places where the
P
signals are weak, the digital signals may not be converted correctly, and in such a case, the voice heard may sound different from the actual original voice.
Accidents or failure may erase the data stored in your mova. It is recommended that you make a note of your
P
important data. DoCoMo cannot be held responsible in any way for the loss of data stored in the mova. DoCoMo mova is exclusively for use in Japan.
P
The user hereby agrees that the user shall be solely responsible for the result of the use of SSL. Neither
P
DoCoMo nor the certifier as listed herein makes any representation and warranty as to the security in the use of SSL. In the event that the user shall sustain damage or loss due to the use of SSL, neither DoCoMo nor the certifier shall be responsible for any such damage or loss. Certifier: VeriSign Japan K.K. Betrusted Japan Co., Ltd.

Contents and Cautions
General notes
$
Do not let the equipment get wet.
The mova, battery and adapter/charger are not waterproofed. Do not use them in very humid environments, such as in bathrooms, and do not allow them to get wet from rain. Further, if carrying them against your body, the internal parts may become corroded from perspiration. If the parts are found to have been damaged owing to exposure to liquids, repairs will not be covered by warranty, or repairs may not be possible. Damage may be repaired for a charge if repairs are possible.
$
Do not place the mova in places where it may be subjected to excessive pressure.
Do not place the mova in a bag along with many other articles or do not sit with the mova in a trouser pocket, because this can damage the LCD display and internal circuitry. Malfunctions caused by such damage are not covered by the warranty.
$
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the equipment.
P
The mova’s camera lens and display have with a special coating so that you can view the colored liquid crystal display with ease. Rubbing the screen roughly with a dry cloth can cause scratches. Use only a dry, soft cloth such as used for cleaning glasses. If water drops or stains are left on the camera lens or screen, smears may occur.
P
Do not use alcohol, thinner, benzene or other solvents for cleaning, otherwise the printing may be removed or discoloration may result.
$
Occasionally clean the connecting terminals of the equipment using a dry cotton swab.
If the connector terminal becomes soiled, the connection might deteriorate so that the power goes off or the battery does not charge fully. Wipe the connector terminal with a dry cloth or cotton swab.
$
Do not place the mova near an air conditioner vent.
Condensation may occur, and this may corrode internal parts.
$
Carefully read each instruction provided with the battery or adapter/charger.
$
When using a power outlet having the disengaging prevention mechanism, observe the instructions given in that instruction manual.
$
You may be penalized according to anti-nuisance laws and regulations if your use of the mova causes a significant public nuisance.

Notes on Handling

Contents and Cautions
Notes on handling mova
$
Avoid using in extremely high or low temperatures.
The mova should be used within a temperature range of 5°C to 35°C and a humidity range of 45% to 85%.
$
It is recommended that you make separate notes of the information stored in the mova and keep such notes in a safe place.
We take no responsibility for any loss of the stored data files.
$
The mova, if operated near ordinary phones, televisions or radios that are in use, may affect them. You should operate your mova as far away from such equipment as possible.
$
Do not sit with the mova in your trousers or skirts pocket. Do not place the mova under heavy objects in a bag.
Malfunction may result.
$
Make sure that nothing, such as a strap, gets caught between the parts of the mova when you close it.
Malfunction or breakage may result.
$
During using or charging, the mova may become warm. This is not an abnormality, so you can continue using/charging.
Notes on handling chargers and adapters
$
Charge the battery where:
P
The temperature is between 5°C and 35°C.
P
There is very little humidity, vibration, and dust.
P
There are no ordinary phones, television sets or radios nearby.
$
During charging, the adapter or charger may become warm. This is not an abnormality, so you can continue charging.
$
Do not use the DC adapter or In-Car adapter for charging the battery when the car engine is not running.
The car battery could go flat.
Notes on handling batteries
$
Charge the battery in a place with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C.
$
Make sure that the battery is charged when you use the mova for the first time or have not used it for a long period of time.
$
The usable time of the battery differs depending on the usage environment or its remaining life.
$
Store the batteries in a well ventilated place out of direct sunlight.
For long-term storage, remove the battery from the mova after discharging it completely.
$
Batteries have a limited life.
If the usable time of your mova is extremely short even when the battery is fully charged, replace the battery. Make sure that you only buy the specified battery.
$
An exhausted battery should not be disposed of with other waste.
After insulating the battery terminals with tape, bring them to the DoCoMo counters or dispose of them in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
Please be considerate of the privacy of individuals around you when taking and sending photos using camera-equipped mobile phones.
