About using the terminal
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 LTE/FOMA service area. The services
may not be available on the upper floors of
high-rise apartments or buildings, even if
there are 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-signal icon in the terminal's
display.
･ Because the 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 the 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.
･ Since the terminal supports function that can
be used by users and guests, some services or
applications recognize them as a same user
even after a user is switched.
DOCOMO shall have no liabilities for any
damage or troubles of customer or a third
party resulting from using the function
(P.178).
･ Note down the information saved in the
terminal in a separate note on a regular basis
or save to an external recording medium such
as a microSD card or PC. 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.
･ As with PCs, some user-installed applications
or accessed websites 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 or
websites before using them.
･
Contents/Precautions
This terminal has FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA
HIGH-SPEED Area support.
･ The terminal does not support i-mode sites
(programs) or i-Dppli.
･ The terminal automatically performs
communication for synchronizing data,
checking the latest software version, and
maintaining a connection with the server, and
for other purposes. If you transmit a large
amount of data, such as when downloading
applications or watching video, a packet
communication charge becomes high.
Subscription to Packet Pack/packet flat-rate
service is highly recommended.
･ Depending on the applications or service you
use, packet communication charge may be
applied even in Wi-Fi® communication.
･ Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.
･ Even when silent mode is on, the following
sounds are not muted: the shutter sound; the
sounds produced when starting and ending
video recording; alarms; sounds from video
and music; and the sound produced when
you tap during a call.
･ The name of the operator is displayed on the
lock screen (P.40).
･ To check your phone number (own number),
from the Home screen, u[Settings]u
[About phone]u[Status]u[SIM status] to see
"My phone number".
･
To check the software version, from the Home
screen, u[Settings]u[About phone].
･ If available memory in the microSD card or
the terminal is low, running applications may
not operate correctly. In that case, delete the
saved data.
･ You can update software on the terminal to
the latest one (P.220, P.224).
･ The operating system (OS) may be upgraded
via software updates to improve the quality of
the terminal. 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 a docomo
nano UIM card. If you have a docomo mini
UIM card, UIM, or FOMA card, bring it to a
docomo Shop to replace it with a docomo
nano UIM card.
･ Set password etc. for screen lock to ensure the
security of your terminal for its loss (P.177).
･ 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
Gmail or Google Play, or SNS, etc.
･
Contents/Precautions
For services provided by Google, refer to
Google Terms of Service. For other web
services, refer to each terms of service.
･ When a license agreement screen etc.
appears, follow the onscreen instructions.
･ Applications and service contents are subject
to change without prior notice.
･ The terminal supports only sp-mode, mopera
U and Business mopera Internet. Other
providers are not supported.
･ If you want to use tethering, subscription to
Packet Pack/packet flat-rate service is strongly
recommended.
･ For details on usage charge, refer to NTT
DOCOMO website.
･ Display is manufactured by taking advantage
of highly advanced technology but some

Notes on using Suguden
Suguden allows you to operate the phone
simply by moving the terminal, but the
function does not work properly in the
following situations.
- When using speakerphone
- When using earphones or headphones
- When connected to a Bluetooth device that
supports calling
- While making a call or switching calls when
already taking a call
- While lying down
- While you are running, or going up or down
stairs
- The display is covered with a book type
smartphone case etc.
･ A Suguden call can be made from the Home
screen or the lock screen (when "Screen lock"
is set to "None" or "Swipe").
･ Suguden does not support video calls, but
the "Hide the name when receiving" setting
can be used with video calls.
･ Even if "Hide the name when receiving" is set
to "ON", a name will be displayed when the
Answering Machine is activated.
･
Phone
95
When "Disconnect" is set to "ON", performing
the call disconnect motion will end the call
even in the following situations.
- When the other party puts the call on hold
- While Answering Machine is active (playing
back a greeting, recording a message)
･ When "Disconnect" is set to "ON", a call may
be disconnected if you shake the terminal
strongly even just once during the call
because that is recognized as motion
performance.
･ When "Mute, Reject" is set to "ON", calls may
be rejected if you shake the terminal strongly
even just once while a call is incoming
because that is recognized as motion
performance.
･ If the terminal is placed within a bag or pocket
while on the incoming call screen, calls may
be answered or disconnected for the rare
occasion because that is recognized as
motion performance.
･ When disconnecting a call with Suguden
motion, it may not react (disconnect) if the
speed of motion for placing the terminal
facing down is fast. In that case, try the motion
slowly to react (disconnect).
･
･
The proximity sensor does not respond well
to black objects.
When answering calls, if you press the
earpiece over your hair, the proximity sensor
may have trouble working and may cause
failure to answer the call. In this case, please
press the earpiece directly to your ear.
When disconnecting/rejecting a call, turning
the terminal over on a black desk, etc. may
cause the operation to fail (cannot
disconnect/reject). In this case, instead of
placing the terminal directly on the surface,
raise the terminal 1 cm from the desk, etc. as
you flip it over to operate (disconnect/reject).

TV
TV is an application with which you can
switch between Full seg and 1Seg and watch
according to the air wave reception
condition. In addition, since the data
broadcasting can be received with images
and sounds, interactive service using
communication function of mobile devices
and receiving detailed information are
available.
With Full seg, you can watch a terrestrial
digital TV broadcasting service in high-vision
quality.
With 1Seg, you can watch a terrestrial digital
TV broadcasting service for mobile devices.
For details on "Full seg/1Seg" service, see the
following website.

are sent from
･ Mountain-ringed regions or a place between
buildings where airwaves are interrupted by
geography or buildings
･ Tunnel, underground or far back from a
building where airwaves are weak or do not
reach
Changing the direction of the TV antenna
cable or moving to another location may
improve signal reception.

Location services
Your current location can be positioned using
GPS, Wi-Fi, or mobile network.
GPS function
The terminal has a GPS receiver that uses
satellite signals to calculate your location.
Some GPS features use the Internet. Data
rates and charges may apply.
When you use GPS function to find your
location, make sure you have a clear view of
the sky. If GPS does not find your location
after several minutes, move to another
location. To help the search, stand still and do
not cover the GPS antenna section (P.30). The
first time you use the GPS, it may take a few
minutes to find your location.
･ Use the GPS system with great care. DOCOMO
is not liable for any damage caused by
abnormality of the system.
･ Note that DOCOMO shall have no liabilities for
any purely economic loss including those due
to missing a chance to check the
measurement (communication) results
because of external factors (including the
running out of the battery), such as a failure,
malfunction, or any other problems of the
terminal or the power failure.
You cannot use the terminal as a navigation
device for an aircraft, vehicle, and person.
Note that DOCOMO shall have no liabilities
whatsoever even if you suffer damage or loss
while performing a navigation using the
location information.
･ You cannot use the terminal as a highaccuracy measurement GPS. Note that
DOCOMO shall have no liabilities whatsoever
even if you suffer damage or loss due to a
deviation of the location information.
･ Global Positioning System (GPS) is created
and managed by U.S. Department of Defense.
And the department is in charge of
controlling the accuracy and maintenance of
the system. Therefore, some changes made
by U.S. Department of Defence might affect
accuracy or functions of GPS system.
･ Some wireless communication products
(mobile phone, data detectors and some
others) block satellite signals and also causes
instability of signal reception.
･ Some map displays based on location
information (latitude/longitude information)
may be not accurate due to some countries'
or regions' regulations.

Setting up fingerprint authentication
Your terminal features a fingerprint sensor
(O). Once you register your fingerprint for
O, you can touch the key with your finger
to unlock the screen (fingerprint
authentication).
■
Notes on using fingerprint
authentication
Your terminal recognizes a fingerprint
based on its unique characteristics. For
this reason, some users may not be able to
use fingerprint authentication if their
fingerprints are not sufficiently unique.
･ Authentication performance—how
successfully your fingerprint can be
recognized when you touch the
fingerprint sensor (O) properly—
varies depending on the condition of your
fingers. Fingerprint registration may fail or
the authentication performance may
decrease if your fingers have any of the
conditions listed below. Note that you
may be able to improve the
authentication performance by wiping or
･
Settings 175
washing your hands, using a different
finger for authentication, or registering a
larger area of your fingerprint.
- Your fingers are: Wrinkled or wet (for
example, after you take a bath)
- Sweaty or greasy (with hand cream etc.)
- Dirty with mud, oil, or other
contamination
- Rough or injured (for example, cut or
inflamed)
- Extremely dry
- Different in size than before, so that the
fingerprint has changed
- Worn so much that the fingerprint is
unclear
- Totally different in texture than when
you registered your fingerprint
･ Fingerprint authentication technology
does not guarantee completely accurate
personal authentication or identification.
Please note that DOCOMO assumes no
responsibility for any damages resulting
from using the terminal by the third party,
or inability to use the terminal.
■
Precautions for using the fingerprint
sensor (O)
Do not hit the fingerprint sensor against
anything or subject it to any strong
impact. Also, do not scratch its surface or
poke it with a pointed object. Doing so
may damage the sensor or cause it to fail.
･ Do not put a sticker on the fingerprint
sensor or paint it with ink or something
similar.
･ A dirty sensor can make fingerprint
recognition difficult or reduce
authentication performance. Be sure to
clean the surface of the sensor as needed.

Continuous stand-by time is an estimate of
the stand-by time when radio signal
reception is normal. Stationary continuous
stand-by time is the estimated average
operation time when radio signal reception is
normal.
In certain circumstances, the stand-by time
may drop to as low as half the time shown
due to the battery charge, function settings,
temperature, or radio signal reception in the
area (no reception or weak).
･ Continuous call time is an estimate of the
operation time for calling when radio signal
reception is normal.
･ A use of the Internet reduces the actual call
(communication)/stand-by time.
Composing messages or activating the
camera or applications also reduces call
(communication)/stand-by time even if you
do not call or use the Internet.
･ Charging time is an estimate of the time
required to charge a completely empty
internal battery. Under low temperature,
charging may require longer time.

Radio Wave Exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) Information
Important Information United
States
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN
CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The SO-03J Series mobile phones have
been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless
phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed to not exceed the limits* of
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These
limits establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by international
scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies.
The standards include a safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all
individuals, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines
employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests
for SAR are conducted using
standardized methods with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phone models,
they are all designed to meet the
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio
waves. For more information on SAR,
please refer to the important
information chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the
authorities for this phone model when
tested for use by the ear is 0.81 W/kg*,
when worn on the body is 0.52 W/kg*
and when WiFi hotspot mode is 0.59 W/
kg. For body-worn operation, this phone
has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. Please use an
accessory designated for this product or
an accessory which contains no metal
and which positions the handset a
minimum of 15 mm from the body.
For devices which include “WiFi
hotspot” functionality, SAR
measurements for the device operating
in WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a
separation distance of 10 mm.
Use of third-party accessories may result
in different SAR levels than those
reported.
** Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public in the US, it must be
tested and certified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) that
it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure*. The
tests are performed in positions and
locations (i.e., by the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this phone
model with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones, all mobile phones
granted an FCC equipment
authorization meet the government
requirement for safe exposure. SAR
information on this phone model is on
file at the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://
transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after
searching on FCCID PY7-43153G.
Additional information on SAR can be
found on the Mobile Manufacturers
Forum EMF website at
http://www.emfexplained.info/.
In the United States, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of
safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
** This paragraph is only applicable to
authorities and customers in the United
States.
FCC Statement for the USA
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may

This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
･ Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
･ Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
･ Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
･ Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
