Introduction
Thank you for purchasing "SC-03D" mobile terminal.
Before and during use of your terminal, be sure to
thoroughly read this instruction manual to ensure
you are able to correctly use your terminal.
Before using your terminal
• SC-03D supports LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/GPRS, and
wireless LAN.
• Because your terminal uses wireless transmission,
it may not function in locations where it is diicult
for radio waves to penetrate, such as tunnels,
underground passages and some buildings, in
areas where radio waves are weak, or out of Xi
service area and FOMA service area. Even when
you are high up in a tall building or condominium
and nothing blocks your view outside, your terminal
may not be able to receive or transmit signals.
Also, communication may be interrupted even
when the signal meter on your terminal indicates
there are strong radio waves and you are not
moving (traveling).
• Because your terminal uses radio waves to
communicate, it is possible that a third party may
attempt to tap your calls. However, LTE, W-CDMA,
GSM/GPRS system automatically applies a
confidential communication function to all calls,
so even if a third party could somehow tap a call,
they only hear noise.
• This terminal encodes voice communication as
digital data. When you are operating your terminal
while moving to a location subject to weaker radio
wave conditions, the transmitted digital data
may not be correctly decoded and as a result
the decoded voice may differ somewhat from the
actual voice.
• This terminal supports Xi Area, FOMA Plus-Area
and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area.
• Note down the information saved in this 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 applications that you perform
installation may give the terminal instability of the
operation, or may send your location information or
personal information registered to this terminal to
outside via the Internet and the information may
be used improperly. Therefore, verify the supplier
and operating conditions of the applications
before use them.
• In this manual, describe instructions in case of
using DOCOMO UIM Card.
Cancelling SIM Lock
The SIM lock for this terminal can be unlocked. NonDOCOMO SIM can be used with this terminal, once

LTE Service "Xi"
"Xi" is a s e r v ic e o f DOCOM O s u p p o r t e d b y L T E
(Long term Evolution) which is the international
communication standard.
This is a super high speed data communication of
up to 37.5 Mbps for receiving data and up to 12.5
Mbps for sending data (Part of the indoor facilities
within Xi area can reach the speed of up to 75 Mbps
for receiving data and up to 25 Mbps for sending
data). You can enjoy the broadband with the speed
as fast as optical LAN and the quick access within
short time.
• The maximum communication speed is calculated
based on theoretical standard, not the real
speed. It is provided by Best effort system. The
real communication speed changes according
to the communication environment and network
condition.
• The FOMA area which is out of Xi area is also
available.
• Refer to DOCOMO website for detailed areas
support Xi.
Notes on usage of SC-03D
• This terminal does not support accessing
i-mode site (programs) and i- α ppli, etc.
• The FOMA Card is unavailable for this
terminal. If you have the FOMA Card,

docomo Shop.
• This terminal automatically performs
communication for some functions, for
example, to synchronize data, check the
latest software, maintain connection with
the server, etc. And when you download
applications or watch movie etc., a large
amount of packet communication charges
are executed. Therefore, it is highly
recommended to use packet flat-rate
service.
• This terminal does not support Public
mode (Driving mode).
• In this terminal, functions may be added
or operation steps may be changed due
to upgrading Operating System (OS). For
latest information of additional function
or operation steps, refer to NTT DOCOMO
website.

providers other than sp-mode, mopera U or
Business mopera Internet.
10
• The packet communication charge when
tethering may be different depend on your
charging plan. We strongly recommend to
subscribe to lat-rate service.
• If you subscribe to flat-rate service, the
packet communication charge will become
"パ ソ コ ン な ど の 外 部 機 器 を 接 続 し た 通 信
"(Communication via external devices such
as PC,etc.). Also when tethering, even
without connecting to external device,
all packet communication charges will
b e c o m e " パソコンなどの外部機器を接続した
通信 "(Communication via external devices
such as PC,etc.). After completing data
communication with external device, be
sure to terminate the tethering function.
• To use tethering, you must subscribe to
sp-mode.
• The security settings between the external

Con su m e r I n for m a t ion on W ir e le ss Ph on e s
The U.S. Food and Drug Adm inist rat ion ( FDA) has published a series of
Quest ions and Answers for consum ers relat ing t o radio frequency ( RF)
exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publicat ion includes t he
following inform at ion:
W h a t k in ds of ph on e s a r e t h e su bj e ct of t h is u pda t e ?
The t erm wireless phone refers here t o hand- held wireless phones wit h
built - in ant ennas, oft en called “ cell,” “ m obile,” or “ PCS” phones. These
t ypes of wireless phones can expose t he user t o m easurable radio
frequency energy ( RF) because of t he short dist ance bet ween t he phone
and t he user's head. These RF exposures are lim it ed by Federal
Com m unicat ions Com m ission safet y guidelines t hat were developed wit h
t he advice of FDA and ot her federal healt h and safet y agencies. When t he
phone is locat ed at great er dist ances from t he user, t he exposure t o RF is
drast ically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly wit h
increasing dist ance from t he source. The so- called “ cordless phones,”
which have a base unit connect ed t o t he t elephone wiring in a house,
t ypically operat e at far lower power levels, and t hus produce RF
exposures well wit hin t he FCC's com pliance lim it s.
D o w ir e le ss ph on e s pose a h e a lt h h a za r d?
The available scient ific evidence does not show t hat any healt h problem s
are associat ed wit h using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,
t hat wireless phones are absolut ely safe. Wireless phones em it low levels
of radio frequency energy ( RF) in t he m icrowave range while being used.
They also em it very low levels of RF when in t he st and- by m ode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce healt h effect s ( by heat ing t issue) , exposure

Under t he law, FDA does not review t he safet y of radiat ion- em it t ing
consum er product s such as wireless phones before t hey can be sold, as it
does wit h new drugs or m edical devices. However, t he agency has
aut horit y t o t ake act ion if wireless phones are shown t o em it radio
frequency energy ( RF) at a level t hat is hazardous t o t he user. I n such a

users of t he healt h hazard and t o repair, replace or recall t he phones so
t hat t he hazard no longer exist s.
Alt hough t he exist ing scient ific dat a do not j ust ify FDA regulat ory act ions,
FDA has urged t he wireless phone indust ry t o t ake a num ber of st eps,
including t he following:

Reducing t he t im e of wireless phone use and increasing t he dist ance

Roa d Sa fe t y
Your wireless phone gives you t he powerful abilit y t o com m unicat e by
voice, alm ost anywhere, anyt im e. But an im port ant responsibilit y
accom panies t he benefit s of wireless phones, one t hat every user m ust
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibilit y. When using your
wireless phone behind t he wheel of a car, pract ice good com m on sense
and rem em ber t he following t ips:
1. Get t o know your wireless phone and it s feat ures, such as speed
dial and redial. I f available, t hese feat ures help you t o place your
call wit hout t aking your at t ent ion off t he road.
2. When available, use a hands- free device. I f possible, add an
addit ional layer of convenience and safet y t o your wireless phone
wit h one of t he m any hands free accessories available t oday.
3. Posit ion your wireless phone wit hin easy reach. Be able t o access
your wireless phone wit hout rem oving your eyes from t he road. I f
you get an incom ing call at an inconvenient t im e, let your voice
m ail answer it for you.
4. Let t he person you are speaking wit h know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend t he call in heavy t raffic or hazardous weat her
condit ions. Rain, sleet , snow, ice and even heavy t raffic can be
hazardous.
5. Do not t ake not es or look up phone num bers while driving. Jot t ing
down a “ t o do” list or flipping t hrough your address book t akes
at t ent ion away from your prim ary responsibilit y, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess t he t raffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not m oving or before pulling int o t raffic. Try t o plan calls
when your car will be st at ionary. I f you need t o m ake a call while
m oving, dial only a few num bers, check t he road and your m irrors,
t hen cont inue.
7. Do not engage in st ressful or em ot ional conversat ions t hat m ay be
dist ract ing. Make people you are t alking wit h aware you are driving
and suspend conversat ions t hat have t he pot ent ial t o divert your
at t ent ion from t he road.
8. Use your wireless phone t o call for help. Dial 9- 1- 1 or ot her local
em ergency num ber in t he case of fire, t raffic accident or m edical
em ergencies. Rem em ber, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone t o help ot hers in em ergencies. I f you see
an aut o accident , crim e in progress or ot her serious em ergency
where lives are in danger, call 9- 1- 1 or ot her local em ergency
num ber, as you would want ot hers t o do for you.
10. Call roadside assist ance or a special non- em ergency wireless
assist ance num ber when necessary. I f you see a broken- down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken t raffic signal, a m inor
t raffic accident where no one appears inj ured, or a vehicle you
know t o be st olen, call roadside assist ance or ot her special nonem ergency num ber.
