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-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 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, maintain
connection with the server, etc. If you
transmit a large amount of data such as
downloading applications or watching video,
a packet communication charge becomes
high. Subscription of 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.
･
Since Mobacas is a service linking
communication, using the service requires
packet communication charge. Subscription
of packet flat-rate service is recommended.
･
Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.
･
Setting the terminal to the 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 name of the operator is displayed on the
lock screen (P.37).
･
To check your phone number (own number),
from the Home screen,
u
[Settings]u[About phone]u[Status] to
see "My phone number".
･
To check the software version, from the Home
screen,
u
[Settings]u[About phone].
･
If available memory in the microSD card or
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.202, P.209).
･
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 docomo
mini UIM card. If you have a UIM or FOMA
card, bring it to a docomo Shop to replace.
･
Set password etc. for screen lock to ensure the
security of your terminal for its loss (P.162).
･
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, Google Play, etc., Facebook, Twitter, etc.
