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 LTE/FOMA service area. The services
may not be available on the upper floors of
high-rise apartments or buildings, even if
there are 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-signal icon in the terminal's
display.
Because the 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 the 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.
Since the terminal supports function that can be used by users and guests, some services or applications recognize them as a same user even after a user is switched. DOCOMO shall have no liabilities for any damage or troubles of customer or a third party resulting from using the function (P.178).
Note down the information saved in the terminal in a separate note on a regular basis or save to an external recording medium such as a microSD card or PC. 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.
As with PCs, some user-installed applications or accessed websites 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 or websites before using them.

communication for synchronizing data,
checking the latest software version, and
maintaining a connection with the server, and
for other purposes. If you transmit a large
amount of data, such as when downloading
applications or watching video, a packet
communication charge becomes high.
Subscription to Packet Pack/packet flat-rate
service is highly recommended.
Depending on the applications or service you
use, packet communication charge may be
applied even in Wi-Fi

the terminal is low, running applications may not operate correctly. In that case, delete the saved data.
You can update software on the terminal to the latest one (P.220, P.224).
The operating system (OS) may be upgraded via software updates to improve the quality of the terminal. 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 a docomo nano UIM card. If you have a docomo mini UIM card, UIM, or FOMA card, bring it to a docomo Shop to replace it with a docomo nano UIM card.
Set password etc. for screen lock to ensure the security of your terminal for its loss (P.177).
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 Gmail or Google Play, or SNS, etc.
