Contents/Precautions
･
The terminal 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-
!
ppli.
About using the terminal

6
Contents/Precautions
･
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.
･
Depending on the applications or service you
use, packet communication fees may be
charged even in Wi-Fi communication.
･
Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.
･
Setting the terminal to Silent mode does not
mute sounds for shutter, playback of video or
music, alarm, dial pad touch tones during a
call, sound emitted when tapping [End call],
etc.
･
The names of the operators are displayed on
unlocking screen (P.40).
･
Your phone number (own number) can be
checked as follows:
From the Home screen, tap and tap
[Settings]
u
[About phone]
u
[Status].
･
The software version of your terminal can be
checked as follows:
From the Home screen, tap and tap
[Settings]
u
[About phone].
･
You can perform software update by
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.252).
･
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.
If you use a docomo mini UIM card (red), you
cannot use some Osaifu-Keitai compatible
services such as international use. Bring it to a
docomo Shop to replace in February, 2013
(scheduled) or later.
･
Set the screen lock to ensure the security of
your terminal for its loss. For details, see
"Screen lock" (P.146).
･
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.

Contents/Precautions
･
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.

Contents/Precautions
Power off the terminal in crowded places
such as rush-hour trains. There may be a
person with an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator near you.
The radio waves from the terminal may affect
the operation of implantable cardiac
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator.
If you use an implantable cardiac pacemaker
or implantable cardioverter defibrillator,
keep the terminal 22 cm or more away from
the implant at all times.
The radio waves from the terminal may affect
the performance of electronic medical
equipment.
If you need to use electronic medical
equipment other than implantable cardiac
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator outside medical facilities such
as treating at home, check with the relevant
medical electronic equipment manufacturer
whether the operation may be affected by
radio waves.
The radio waves from the terminal may affect
the performance of electronic medical
equipment.

Common precautions
･
SO-03E is waterproof/dustproof,
however, do not allow water or dust to
seep into the terminal and do not allow
accessories or optional devices to get
wet or dust.
The battery pack, adapter, desktop holder,
docomo mini UIM card and 1Seg antenna cable
are not waterproof/dustproof. Do not use in a
bathroom or other highly humid area or do not
let rain touch. Or putting them on your body,
humidity of sweat may cause internal corrosion
and malfunction. Note that malfunctions, which
are determined to be caused by water as result of
inspections, are outside the scope of the
warranty. Since these conditions are outside of
the scope of the warranty, a repair, if at all
possible, is charged.
･
Clean the terminal with a dry soft cloth
(such as used for cleaning eyeglasses).
- Do not rub it roughly with a dry cloth. The
display may be damaged.
- Drops of water or dirt left on the display may
cause stains.
- Do not use alcohol, thinner, benzine, cleaning
detergent, etc. to clean the terminal. These
chemicals may erase the printing on the
terminal or cause discoloration.
･
Clean the terminals occasionally with a
dry cotton swab.
If the jack is soiled, connection gets worse and it
may cause power to be turned off or insufficient
battery charge, so clean the jack with a dry
cotton swab etc. When cleaning, be careful not
to damage the terminals.
･
Do not leave the terminal near the air
conditioning vent.
Extreme temperature changes may produce
condensation and corrode the internal parts of
the terminal, causing it to malfunction.
･
Make sure to use the terminal, battery
pack, etc. without excessive force.
If you put the terminal in a bag full of items or sit
down with the terminal in the pocket of your
cloth, it may damage the display, internal circuit
board and battery pack, causing malfunction.
If doing so while the external device is connected
to the microUSB jack or headset jack, it may
damage the connector and cause malfunction.
･
Do not rub or scratch the display with
metal.
The display may get scratched and it may cause
malfunction or damage.
･
Read the users manuals supplied with
optional devices.
■
The terminal precautions
･
Do not press touch screen surface
forcibly, or not operate with a sharp-
pointed objects such as nail, ballpoint
pen, pin, etc.
Doing so may cause damage of touch screen.
