Contents/Precautions

Before using the terminal

SO-04D 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-antenna marks in the
terminal's 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 and keep it safely. 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.
You are recommended to save important data to microSD card.
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 Xi Area, FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area support.
The terminal does not support i-mode sites (programs) or i-
D
ppli.

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
movie, a packet communication charge
becomes high. Subscription of packet flat-
rate service is highly recommended.
Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.
Setting the phone to silent mode does not
mute sounds for shutter, playback of video or
music, alarm, etc.
The names of the operators are displayed on
unlocking screen (P.31).
Your phone number (own number) can be
checked as follows:
From the Home screen, tap and tap
u
[Settings]
The software version of your terminal can be
[About phone]u[Status].
checked as follows:
From the Home screen, tap and tap

[Settings]
You can perform software update by
[About phone].
downloading an update file with a PC via
Internet and connecting the PC to the
terminal. For details, see "Connecting to a PC
and updating" (P.236).
By some software updates, the operating system (OS) may be version-upgraded 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 the screen lock to ensure the security of your terminal for its loss. For details, see "Screen lock" (P.142).
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 Google Talk, Gmail, Google Play, etc., Facebook, Twitter and mixi.
Google application 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.
