● Thank you for choosing the FOMA N900i.
This Manual for FOMA N900i 『 Basic 』 contains the following 7 sections: “Getting Started”, “Basic
Operations”, “Advanced Operations”, “Using Network Services”, “Entering Characters”,
“Appendix” and “Troubleshooting”.
● Please read this Manual for FOMA N900i 『 Basic 』 and the separate manual 『 Application 』 carefully
before and during using the FOMA N900i for the effective operation.
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 SSL. Neither NTT
DoCoMo nor the certifier as listed herein makes any representation or warranty as to security in the use of
SSL. In the event that the user shall sustain any damage or loss due to the use of 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., Baltimore Technologies Japan Co., Ltd.
● The FOMA terminal can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DoCoMo.
Using your FOMA terminal politely
When using your FOMA terminal in public, don’t forget to consider the feelings of the
people around you.
Always turn your FOMA terminal off in the following situations:
■ In places where the use of mobile phones is prohibited
There are places where the use of mobile phones is prohibited. Always turn your FOMA terminal off in
such places.
・ In aircraft ・ In hospitals
※ Turn off your FOMA terminal even when you are in an area outside hospital wards, such as a hospital
lobby or waiting room, since electronic medical equipment may be in use nearby.
■ When you are driving
Using your FOMA terminal while you are driving could cause a traffic accident.
※ If you do not want to turn your FOMA terminal off while you are driving, set it to Driving mode.
■ When you are in a crowded place such as on trains in case you may be near the people who is using an
implantable cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
Radio waves may affect the operation of implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter-defibrillators if used in close proximity.
■ When you are in public places such as a theater, cinema or gallery
Using your FOMA terminal in public places where quiet is needed can annoy the people around you.
Be aware of where you use the FOMA terminal and the volume of your voice and the ring tone
■ Take care not to speak too loudly when you use your FOMA terminal in quiet locations such as restaurants
and hotel lobbies.
■ Take care not to obstruct other people when you use your FOMA terminal in shopping areas, etc.
The privacy should be protected
Please be considerate of the privacy of individuals around you when taking and sending photos using
camera-equipped mobile phones.
Use these FOMA functions to avoid offending people around you
Your FOMA terminal is equipped with convenient functions that remove the need to answer incoming calls
and mute all the sounds made by the FOMA terminal.
[Manner mode/Original Manner mode]
Manner mode mutes the sounds made by the FOMA terminal, such as the keypad sounds and the ring
tone. In Original Manner mode, you can also change settings by function, such as the record message,
vibrator or ring tone.
[Driving mode]
In this mode, the FOMA terminal plays an announcement informing the caller that you are driving and
cannot answer the phone, and then terminates the call. This promotes safe driving since the FOMA
terminal does not ring.
[Vibrator]
This makes the FOMA terminal vibrate rather than ring when a call comes in.
[Record message function]
When you cannot take calls, this function allows the caller to leave a recorded message.
You can also use optional services such as the Voice mail service (p.271) and Call forwarding service (p.276).

P.XXX
Videophone
You can talk on the videophone to the other party with videophone-capable terminals face to face. If you
switch to the handsfree mode, you can hear the other party’s voice from the speaker. By operating
Chara-den instead of displaying your own image, you can enjoy making Chara-den do various actions
during a call.
It supports the remote monitor with the camera function to check the behavior of your pet in your home
from outside, or observe the local conditions such as a plant or operation status from a remote
location. Your FOMA terminal can work as a terminal for both sending and receiving remote monitor
data.
Camera
You can take pictures (still images),
continuous multiple pictures and movies using
the two cameras, in-camera and out-camera.
The out-camera has a Super CCD honeycomb
of 2 million recordable pixels (1 million valid
pixels) and is capable of taking a large picture
of 1616 × 1212 dots.
It also loads the “Chance capture” function,
which records movies retroactively from the
point you end shooting, and the “Picture voice”
function, which adds voice to pictures (still
images) taken. Movies shot with these
functions are saved in the Movie player
as movies and can be sent with
i-mode mail.
