Contents/Precautions

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, 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 be disconnected even in areas with strong radio wave condition, even if you are not moving, or even if there are 4-signal icon on 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 a caller moves into an area of poor 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.

･

The terminal supports the function which allows "User" or "Guest" to use the terminal. Therefore some services or applications recognize them as the same user even after the 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.212).

･

Note down the data saved to 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 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.

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

･

If available memory in the microSD card or

communication.

the internal storage is low, running applications may not operate correctly. In that case, delete the saved data.

･

Set password etc. for screen lock to ensure the security of your terminal in case of its loss (P.198).

･

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 using services and applications provided by the third party's including applications provided by Google LLC., confirm the terms and conditions, etc. specified by Google or the providers. DOCOMO assumes no

responsibility for any malfunctions resulting from the services and applications.

･

When a license agreement screen etc. appears, follow the onscreen instructions.

･

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.

･

For details on usage charge, refer to NTT DOCOMO website.

･

Display is manufactured by taking advantage of highly advanced technology but some dots may be always or never lit. Note that, this shows characteristics of the display and not defects in the terminals.

･

The terminal has an organic EL display. Although an afterimage may occur when the same image has been displayed for a long time, it is not a malfunction. To prevent the display from having afterimages, do not display the same image for a long time.

･

The screen may become partially dark or the colors may be changed if you set the display brightness to brighter than necessary or use the terminal extremely for a long time. Also, unevenness of colors or brightness, or changes of colors may be found depending on direction you are looking. That is because of the structure of organic EL display, not a malfunction.
