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 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 terminals
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 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.
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 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 FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area support.
The terminal does not support i-mode sites (programs) or i-
D
ppli.
Content s/Precautio ns

The terminal automatically performs
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 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, dialpad operation sound during a call,
sound emitted when [End call] is tapped, etc.
The name of the operator is displayed on the
lock screen (P.40).

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.206, P.212).
By upgrading Android software, the operating system (OS) may be version­upgraded 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 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.165).
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.
For services provided by Google, refer to Google Terms of Service. For other web services, refer to each terms of service.
Applications 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.

With VoLTE, you can make high-quality voice and video calls. You can also switch between voice and video calls. To use VoLTE, both parties must meet the following requirements.
- Both terminals support VoLTE.
- Both parties are in a Xi service area. (VoLTE is not available outside a Xi service area or during international roaming.)
- "Network mode" in "Mobile networks" is set to "LTE(preferred)/3G/GSM" or "LTE/3G" (P.188), and "Network mode" is set to "VoLTE/3G" (P.88).
On a video call, both speakers can see each other while talking.
- When you make a video call, voice call and packet communication charges will apply. When you receive a video call, packet communication charges will apply.
- Video calls are based on best-effort communication (which optimizes transmission speed depending on how busy your network is), so the quality of video images varies depending on your network environment.
- If your terminal failed to switch to a video call during a voice call, a massage appears on the screen indicating that the failure occurred, and the voice call is maintained.
- Since imaging for video call varies by terminal model, your terminal and the other party's terminal may show different image in scope.

Note
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 Police Station. The Emergency call acceptance organ ization 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.
