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-

α

ppli.

Content s/Precautio ns

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

u

[Settings]

[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).

･

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.

Note

made in Japan.

･

You can make an emergency call by tapping
[Emergency call] on the unlock screen. In Japan,
however, on the PIN code entry screen, while PIN
code locked or while PUK locked, emergency calls
(110, 119, 118) cannot be made.

･

This terminal supports "Emergency call location
information". If you use the terminal to place a call to
emergency numbers such as 110, 119, or 118, the
information of a location where you are calling from
(location information) is automatically notified to the
Emergency call acceptance organization such as the
Polic e Station.
The Emergency call acceptance organization may not
be able to figure out your exact location depending
on the location where you place a call or radio wave
condition.
If you make a call hiding your caller ID, such as by
entering a phone number with "184" for each call, the
location information and phone number are not
notified. However, the Emergency call acceptance
organization may decide to obtain the location
information and phone number regardless of your
settings when they consider it is necessary for
lifesaving, etc. Note that the areas/time for which the
"Emergency call location information" is ready to be
used vary depending on the preparatory state of each
Emergency call acceptance organization.

･

When calling 110, 119 or 118 for emergency from the
terminal, tell that you are calling from a mobile
phone, and give your phone number and your
current location precisely for checking callback from
the police/fire department. Also, make a point to call
in a stationary position to prevent the call from being
dropped. Do not power off the terminal for at least
10 minutes after the emergency call just in case the
Police or Fire/Ambulance may have to get in contact
with you.

･

Note that you may not connect to the local Fire
Department or Police Station depending on where
you are calling from. In this case, try to call from a
public phone or an ordinary phone in the
neighborhood.
