Thank you for selecting the “FOMA P900iV”.

The instructions for the FOMA P900iV are presented in two manuals,

“Basics Manual” and “Applications Manual”.

Please read this manual, “Basics Manual” and separate manual,

“Applications Manual” carefully before and during use

for the correct and effective operation of the FOMA P900iV.

The FOMA P900iV is designed to be your close partner.

Treat it carefully at all times to ensure long-term performance.

Before using your FOMA P900iV

●

Because the FOMA phones use radio waves, they cannot be used in places where radio waves do not reach, such as
inside tunnels, underground, or in buildings; or the outside where radio waves are weak or out of the FOMA service area.
They may not be used in the high-rise buildings even when the antennas are unobstructed. You may also experience
interruption of calls even when using without moving while the radio waves are strong enough for the three antennas to
appear on the display.

●

Use the FOMA phone carefully to avoid disturbing other people when in public.

●

Since the FOMA phones use radio waves as the medium of telecommunication, calls may be tapped by the third party.
However, the W-CDMA system automatically supports tapping prevention, so your conversation will be incomprehensible
to the third party.

●

The FOMA phones change your voice into digital signals and send them to the other party. In places where the radio
waves 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.

●

It is recommended that you make separate notes of the information stored in the FOMA phone and keep such notes in a
safe place. DoCoMo cannot be held responsible in any way for the loss of data stored in the phone.

●

The user hereby agrees that the user shall be solely responsible for the result of the use of SSL. Neither DoCoMo nor the
certifier as listed herein makes any representation and warranty as for 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. Baltimore Technologies Japan Co., Ltd.

The FOMA phone can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DoCoMo.

Notes on using near electronic medical equipment

■

The description below meets “Guidelines on the Use of Radio-communication Equipment
such as Cellular Telephones – Safeguards for Electronic Medical Equipment” by the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference Japan.

If you use an implanted cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillators, use the mobile
phone 22 cm or more away from an implanted cardiac pacemaker or implanted
defibrillators.

An implanted cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillators operation can be affected by radio waves.

Turn off the phone in crowded areas such as inside trains during rush hour, as
someone with an implanted cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillators fitted may be
near you.

An implanted cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillators operation can be affected by radio waves.

Comply with the followings in hospitals or health care facilities.

●

Do not carry the mobile phone into operating rooms, intensive care units (ICU) or coronary care units (CCU).

●

Turn off the mobile phone in hospital wards.

●

If there is any electronic medical equipment near you, turn off the mobile phone even when in a location such
as a lobby.

●

Comply with any regulations of hospital and health care facilities instructing you not to use or carry in a mobile
phone.

●

If the Auto Power On function is installed, deactivate the setting, then turn the power off.

Patients using electronic medical equipment other than implanted cardiac pacemakers
or implanted defibrillators (outside medical establishments for treatment at home, etc.)
should check the influence of radio waves upon the equipment by consulting its
manufacturer.

An implanted cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillators operation can be affected by radio waves.

■

Do not let the equipment get wet.

The FOMA phone, battery and adapter/charger are not waterproofed. Do not use them in environments, which are high in
humidity such as in bathrooms, and do not allow them to get wet from rain. Furthermore, if carrying them against your
body, the internal parts may become corroded if exposed to body sweat.
If the parts are found to have been damaged due to exposure to the liquids, any repairs will not be covered by warranty,
or repairs may not be possible.
This may be repaired at a cost if repairs are possible.

■

Do not place the FOMA phone in places where it may be subjected to excessive pressure.

Do not place the FOMA phone in a bag along with many other articles or in a trouser pocket, because this can damage
the LCD display and internal circuitry. Malfunctions caused by such damage is not covered by the warranty.

■

Use a dry soft cloth to clean the equipment.

●

The camera lens and screen of the FOMA phone sometimes have a special coating so that they are easier to see. If
you rub them roughly with a dry cloth, it might be scratched. Use only a dry, soft cloth such as used for cleaning
glasses.
If the lens or screen is left with water drop or stain adhered, smear may be generated.

●

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 FOMA phone near an air conditioner outlets.

Condensation may form due to rapid changes in humidity, and this may corrode internal parts.

■

Do carefully read each instruction manual attached to the battery or adapter/charger.

■

Avoid using in extremely high or low temperatures.

The FOMA phone should be used within a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C and a humidity range of 35% to 85%.

■

It is recommended that you make separate notes of the information stored in the FOMA phone
and keep such notes in a safe place.

We take no responsibility for any loss of the stored data items.

■

The FOMA phone, if operated near ordinary phones, televisions or radios that are in use, may
affect them. You should operate your FOMA phone as far away from such equipment as
possible.

■

Do not sit with the FOMA phone in your trousers or skirts pocket. Do not place the FOMA
phone under heavy objects in the bag.

Malfunction may result.

■

Make sure that nothing, such as the strap, gets trapped between the parts of the FOMA phone
when you close it.

Malfunction or breakage may result.

■

The FOMA phone may become warm during use or charging but this is not an abnormality.
Use the FOMA phone as is.
