General Notes
cDo not water the devices.
The FOMA terminal, battery pack, adapter (including
the charger) and the FOMA card (UIM) are not water-
proof. Do not use them in humid locations such as
bathrooms, and avoid exposing them to rain. If you
carry your FOMA terminal close to your skin, sweat
may cause internal components to corrode and result
in a malfunction. If the problem is found to be due to
moisture, it will not be covered by the warranty and in
some cases may be irreparable. Even if it can be fixed,
you will be charged since the damage is not covered by
the warranty.
cWipe with a soft, dry cloth (such as a cloth for
glasses).
aThe surface of the FOMA terminal’s LCD has a
specific coating to improve the visibility of the color
display. Rubbing the LCD of the FOMA terminal with
a dry cloth to clean it may scratch the LCD surface.
Handle the FOMA terminal carefully and clean it
using a soft dry cloth (of a type used for eyeglasses).
The LCD coating may peel off or stain if moisture or
soiling is left on the surface for a long period.
aNever use chemicals such as alcohol, thinners,
benzene or detergents as these agents may erase
the printing on the FOMA terminal or cause
discoloration.
cOccasionally clean the connection terminals
with a dry cotton bud.
Soiled connection terminals may result in poor
connections and loss of power. Also, as it may cause
insufficient charging, clean the terminal with a dry cloth
or cotton bud when it is dirty.
cDo not place the FOMA terminal near an air
conditioning vent.
Condensation may form due to rapid changes in
temperature, and this may cause internal corrosion and
malfunction.
cDo not subject the FOMA terminal or battery
pack to excessive pressure.
If you put the handset in a baggage with too much filler
or sit down with it in a pocket, Display or the internal
base may result in breakage or failure.
Additionally, it may cause connector breakage or failure
to put excessive pressure on the terminal with plugging
the external cable into External connector or Earphone/
microphone terminal.
cRead the separate manuals supplied with the
FOMA terminal, battery pack, adapter, charger
and desktop holder carefully.
cDo not scrabble the display with metallic
objects.
This may cause scratch, resulting in malfunction or
damage.
Handling the FOMA Terminal
cAvoid using the FOMA terminal in extremely
high or low temperatures.
Use the FOMA card (UIM) within a temperature range
between 5°C and 35°C with humidity between 45% and
85%.
cUsing the FOMA terminal close to ordinary
phones, TVs or radios may affect the operation
of such devices. Use the FOMA terminal away
from such devices.
cIt is your responsibility to keep a separate
record of all data stored on your FOMA
terminal.
Under no circumstances shall NTT DoCoMo be liable
for any loss or damage to the data stored on your
FOMA terminal.
cDo not try to force the external cable plugged
into or unplugged from External connector or
Earphone/microphone terminal.
Doing so may cause malfunction or damage.
cDo not fold the FOMA terminal with its strap
caught between the folding parts.
Doing so may cause malfunction or damage.
cIt is normal for the FOMA terminal to become
warm while being used or charged. It is not a
malfunction and you can keep on using.
cDo not leave the camera exposed to direct
sunlight.
This may discolor or burn the element.
cAlways fit the earphone/microphone terminal
cap, external connector cap and microSD
memory card slot cap before use.
Failing to fit these caps may cause the FOMA terminal
to malfunction due to the dust or water getting in.
cDo not use the FOMA terminal with the back
cover removed.
This may cause the battery pack to remove, or cause
malfunction or damage.
cDo not put a thick sticker, etc. on the display
surface or keys.
Doing so may cause malfunction.
cDo not remove the microSD memory card or
turn off the FOMA terminal when using the
microSD memory card.
Otherwise, loss of data or malfunction may result.
Handling the Battery Pack
cThe battery pack is consumable.
If the battery pack does not work for enough time even
when it is fully charged, it is time to exchange it.
Exchange it for a specified new battery pack.
cCharge the battery pack within the proper
ambient temperature range (5°C to 35°C).
cMake sure to charge the battery when you use
the FOMA terminal for the first time or if you
have not used it for a long period of time.
cThe available operating time of the battery pack
depends on the conditions in which you use it
and the condition of the battery pack itself.
