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-

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,

[Settings]u[About phone]u[Status] to

see "My phone number".

･

To check the software version, from the Home

screen,

[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.

Content s/Precautio ns

･

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.

･

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.

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 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.
