[3/12]
The handset supports LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS and wireless
LAN systems.
Because the handset relies on radio signals, it cannot be used in
a place with no signal (such as tunnels, underground or in
buildings), in places with a weak signal or outside the Xi service
area or FOMA service area. You may not use the handset in the
upper floors of a building even with no obstructions in sight.
There may also be times when the signal is strong and you are
not moving but the call is interrupted.
Because the handset uses radio waves, it is possible for a third
party to listen in on a conversation. However, since the LTE,
W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS systems automatically apply a private
call feature to every call, a third party that tries to listen in only
hears noise.
The handset converts conversations into a digital signal and
sends it to the other party over the radio. If the signal cannot be
reconverted properly by such as moving to an area with a weak
signal, the voice may not be heard correctly.
Take notes of information (e.g. the phonebook, calendar, note,
voice memo, answering memo) stored on the handset or save
the information to external memory devices such as microSD
Cards and PCs periodically. DOCOMO shall not be liable for any
loss of content due to a failure, repair, model change or other
handling of the handset.
As with PCs, some user-installed apps etc. may disrupt the
stability of your handset performance or unexpectedly transmit
information via the Internet causing improper use of your location
information, personal information stored on the handset, etc.
Therefore, verify the supplier and operating conditions of the
apps etc. to be used before using them.
The handset supports the FOMA Plus-Area and the FOMA
HIGH-SPEED Area.
When the available space on the microSD Card or the handset is
insufficient, apps in use may not work properly. In this case,
delete saved data.
The handset does not support connection to i-mode website
(program), i-appli, etc.
The handset does not support providers other than sp-mode,
mopera U and Business mopera Internet.
In the home screen, [R]/[Settings]/[Profile] to check your
phone number (own number).
The handset does not support Public Mode (Drive Mode).
Setting the handset to the manner mode does not mute sounds
(camera shutter sound etc.) other than the ringtone, operation
sound, and various notification sounds.
The handset automatically performs communication for some
functions, for example, to synchronize data, check the latest
software version or maintain connection with the server. Also,
making a communication with large-volume data such as
downloading apps or watching videos will lead to higher packet
communication charges. Subscription to Packet Pack/flat-rate
packet communication services is highly recommended.
Even while the Wi-Fi connection is set, packet communication
charges may be incurred depending on the app and service you
use.
Software on the handset can be updated to up-to-date status
(nP. 93 “Software update”).
For details on software version of your handset nP. 77 “About
phone”
New functions may be added to the handset or the operation
method may change by upgrading the OS version. Check the
DOCOMO website for the latest information on these additions
and changes.
If the OS is upgraded, some apps used in the previous OS
version may not be available or some unintended bugs may
occur.
Secure the security of the handset by setting Screen lock in case
you lose it (nP. 71 “Lock & security”).
If your handset is lost, change your password for each account
using a PC to prevent other persons from using Google™
services such as Gmail and Google Play™, and services such as
SNS.
Apps and their service contents are subject to change without
prior notice.
Read the terms of service of Google Inc. for details on Google
services. Also, read each terms of service for details on other
web services.
Subscription to sp-mode is required to use tethering.
Subscription to Packet Pack/flat-rate packet communication
services is highly recommended to use tethering.
Since Mobacas is a service that collaborates with
communications, packet communication charges are incurred
when using this service. Subscription to Packet Pack/flat-rate
packet communication services is recommended.
For details on usage fees etc., refer to the DOCOMO website.
The display is manufactured using high-precision technology, but
it may contain dots that fail to light or that remain permanently lit
on some areas. This is a characteristic of LCD and not a
malfunction.
The battery is built into the handset and you cannot replace it by
yourself.
Note that DOCOMO shall not guarantee operation of
commercially available optional parts.

[15/29]
The internal battery is not fully charged at the time of
purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use.
■Cautions while charging
For details on the estimated charge time nP. 94 “Main
specifications”
The battery can also be charged with the handset turned on
(While charging, the battery icon appears with [w]
superimposed).
Do not charge for a long time with the power left turned on. If the
handset is left turned on after charging is complete, the internal
battery charge level decreases.
In this case, an AC or DC adapter (sold separately) charges the
battery again. However, depending on the time when the
handset is disconnected from the AC or DC adapter, the battery
charge level may be low or the battery may only be usable for a
short time.
If the handset is left for a long time even after the charging is
completed, the battery level may decrease.
When the battery is empty and the handset is being charged, the
charging illumination may not illuminate immediately. However,
charging is in progress.
If the battery empty alert is displayed and the power cannot be
turned on, charge the battery for a while.
While charging, the handset may not be turned on even when the
charging illumination is illuminated in red. Charge longer and try
turning the power on again.
Frequently recharging the battery when its power is still
remaining enough may shorten the usable life of the internal
battery. It is recommended to use the battery to a certain level
(e.g. after the battery level decreases) before recharging.
When the battery becomes warm, charging may automatically
stop even if the battery has not been fully charged. Charging
automatically resumes after the temperature lowers to an
appropriate temperature.
If you watch Mobacas, receive content, etc. while charging, move
the handset as far away as possible from the power plug section
of the AC adapter.
■Estimated battery life when fully charged
For details on the battery life nP. 94 “Main specifications”
■Internal battery usable life
Internal battery is a consumable product. Battery life per charge
is gradually reduced every time the battery is charged.
When battery life per charge is reduced to approximately half of
the default time, this means that the internal battery is
approaching the end of its usable life. In this case, it is
recommended to replace the battery as soon as possible. For
details on replacing the internal battery, contact the number
listed in “Repairs” (in Japanese only) on the last page or a repair
counter that DOCOMO specifies.
If you watch TV etc. while charging for a long time, the usable life
of the internal battery may become shorter than estimated.
■AC adapter and DC adapter
Refer to user's guide of AC Adapter 05 (sold separately) or DC
Adapter 04 (sold separately).
AC Adapter 05 covers from 100 to 240V AC.
The shape of the plug for the AC adapter is for 100V AC (for
domestic use). To use the AC adapter of 100 to 240V AC
overseas, a conversion plug adapter applicable to your country
of stay is required. Do not use a voltage converter for overseas
travel to charge the battery.
[Read the user's guides of AC Adapter 05 (sold
separately) and DC Adapter 04 (sold separately)]
