About using the terminal

The terminal supports LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/ GPRS and Wireless LAN Systems.

Because a terminal operates using radio frequencies, it cannot be used inside a tunnel, underground, in a building or other locations where radio waves do not reach the terminal, in locations with weak radio wave condition, or out of Xi/FOMA service area. The services may not be available on high upper floors of high-rise apartments or buildings, even if you can see no obstructions around you. On occasion, your calls may become disconnected even in areas with strong radio wave condition, even if you are not moving, or even if there are 4-antenna marks in the terminal's display.

Because your terminal uses radio waves to communicate, it is possible that a third party may attempt to tap your calls. However, the

LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS system automatically scrambles all calls through a private call feature. Therefore, even if third party successfully intercepts your call, they will only hear noise.

The terminal operates on radio frequencies by converting voice into digital signals. If the caller moves into an area of adverse radio wave condition, the digital signal may not be restored accurately, and the voice received in

the call may differ slightly from the actual voice.

Note down the information saved in the terminal in a separate note and keep it safely. 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 the terminal.

You are recommended to save important data to microSD card.

As with PCs, some user-installed applications may disrupt the stability of the terminal performance, or unexpectedly transmit information via the Internet causing improper use of your location information as well as personal information recorded on the terminal. Therefore, verify the supplier and operating conditions of the applications to be used before using them.

This terminal has Xi Area, FOMA Plus-Area and

FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area support.

The terminal does not support i-mode sites

(programs) or i-αppli.

Contents/Precautions 5

The terminal automatically performs communication for synchronizing data, checking the latest software version, maintain connection with the server, etc. If you transmit a large amount of data such as downloading applications or watching movie, a packet communication charge becomes high. Subscription of packet flatrate service is highly recommended.

Depending on the applications or service you use, packet communication fees may be charged even in Wi-Fi communication.

Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.

Setting the terminal to Silent mode does not mute sounds for shutter, playback of video or music, alarm, dial pad touch tones during a call, sound emitted when tapping [End call], etc.

The names of the operators are displayed on unlock screen (P.41).

To check your phone number (own number),

from the Home screen, tap and tap [Settings]u[About phone]u[Status] to see

"My phone number".

To check the software version, from the Home screen, tap and tap [Settings]u[About phone].

You can perform software update by downloading an update file with a PC via Internet and connecting the PC to the terminal. For details, see "Connecting to a PC and updating" (P.263).

By some software updates, the operating system (OS) may be version-upgraded for improving the terminal quality. For this reason, you always need to use the latest OS version. And some applications that used in the previous OS version may not be available or some unintended bugs may occur.

You can use the terminal only with docomo mini UIM card. If you have a UIM or FOMA card, bring it to a docomo Shop to replace.

If you use a docomo mini UIM card (red), you cannot use some Osaifu-Keitai compatible services such as international use. Bring it to a docomo Shop to replace in February, 2013

(scheduled) or later.

Set the screen lock to ensure the security of your terminal for its loss. For details, see

"Screen lock" (P.152).

Contents/Precautions 6

If your terminal is lost, change your each account password to invalidate authentication using a PC to prevent other persons from using Google services such as Google Talk, Gmail, Google Play, etc., Facebook, Twitter and mixi.

For services provided by Google, refer to

Google Terms of Service. For other web services, refer to each terms of service.

Google application and service contents are subject to change without prior notice.

The terminal supports only sp-mode, mopera U and Business mopera Internet. Other providers are not supported.

To use tethering, subscription of sp-mode is required.

Packet communication charge when using tethering varies depending on the charging plan you use. Subscription of packet flat-rate service is highly recommended.
