The FOMA N900iG automatically detects and connects to an
appropriate network when it is set to “Auto” from “Menu”, “Settings”,
“Network setting” and “Network switch”. However, it may be hard to
switch networks depending on radio wave and overseas network
conditions in the area where the FOMA terminal is used.
Since network detection starts with 3G networks, it is recommended
to set “Network switch” to “GSM” if you know in advance that 3G
networks are not available in your local area.
● The default setting for “Network switch” is “Auto”.
● For the areas where 3G networks are available, refer to the WORLD
WING homepage.

To charge the FOMA N900iG overseas, take with you a conversion
plug adapter that is suitable for the local specification and use the
“FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global Use” with it.
● You can purchase the conversion plug adapter at various locations such
as mass retailers of consumer electronics or travel goods shops.
● Do not use a voltage converter for overseas use to charge your terminal.

● Search from contents
See “Contents” (p.2) first. Items that can be tips for your terminal operations are listed. You can find the
page that describes information you want to know, by reading “Contents”.
● Search from Index
If you know the keyword of the item you want to know, you can find the keyword in the Index (p.594) in
order to quickly go to the desired page.
● Search from chapter side title
To search the category, use “Chapter side title” on the front cover. The first page of each chapter lists in
detail the page numbers.
● Search from feature
When you have a specific feature in mind, you can find it in “Features of the FOMA N900iG” (pp.4 and 5).
If you know the function name, you can find its page in “Menu List” (p.554).
● Using “Quick Manual”
The “Quick Manual” on the end of this manual describes the basic operations and screen displays of the
FOMA terminal. To use the quick manual, remove it from this manual and fold it into the shape of a book.
Before using your FOMA terminal
● FOMA terminals operate using radio waves, so phone calls cannot be made in locations where radio
waves cannot be received. You cannot use the FOMA terminal in tunnels, underground areas, inside
buildings, and outdoor locations where reception is poor, or out of the service areas. You may also
experience difficulties making phone calls from the upper floors of tall buildings, even if there is no
obvious physical obstruction. When reception is good (i.e. the reception level indicator shows 3 bars) and
you do not move during the call, you may still find that your call is cut off.
● When you use your FOMA terminal in public places, particularly where it is crowded or quiet, be mindful of
not disturbing the people around you.
● Because the FOMA terminal uses radio waves to communicate, there is always the risk of your calls being
intercepted by a third party. However, the W-CDMA system automatically supports tapping prevention for all calls.
In this way, even if a third party succeeds in intercepting your call, only incomprehensible noise will be heard.
● The FOMA terminal communicates via radio waves by converting voices into digital signals. If you move
into an area where signal reception is poor, the digital signals may not be accurately decoded and what
you hear may differ slightly from what was actually said.
● It is the user’s responsibility to keep a separate record of all data (names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses,
etc.) stored on your FOMA terminal. NTT DoCoMo shall not be held liable for any loss of stored data.
● The user hereby agrees that the user shall be solely responsible for the results of using TLS/SSL. Neither
NTT DoCoMo nor the certifier as listed herein makes any representation or warranty as to security in the use
of TLS/SSL. In the event that the user shall sustain any damage or loss due to the use of TLS/SSL, under no
circumstances shall either NTT DoCoMo or the certifier be held responsible for any such damage or loss.
Certifier: VeriSign Japan K.K., Betrusted Japan Co., Ltd.
● The FOMA terminal can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DoCoMo and DoCoMo’s roaming area.

Thank you for purchasing the FOMA N900iG.
Please read carefully this user’s manual and the other manuals delivered with units such as the battery

in this manual, please contact the DoCoMo Information Center indicated on the back cover of this manual.
We hope you enjoy using the N900iG for years to come as your efficient and reliable partner.
● Note that the FOMA N900iG is referred to simply as “FOMA terminal” in this manual for FOMA N900iG.
● Some of the functions that are explained in this manual require the optional miniSD memory card.

function allows you to store shot movies
directly into the miniSD memory card and
shoot movies for up to one hour.
i- α ppli DX
You can conveniently use and enjoy i- α ppli by

the out-camera with 1.23 million recordable
pixels (1.24 million valid pixels).
● It also loads the “Chance capture”function, which

voice to pictures (still images) taken. Movies shot with
these functions can be sent with i-mode mail.
Speed photo mail
