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-signal icon in the terminals 
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 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 
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 FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA 
HIGH-SPEED Area support.
・
The terminal does not support i-mode sites 
(programs) or i-
D
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 video, 
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 charge may be 
applied even in Wi-Fi communication.
・
Since Mobacas is a service linking 
communication, using the service requires 
packet communication charge. Subscription 
of packet flat-rate service is recommended.
・
Public mode (Driving mode) is not supported.
・
Setting the terminal to the 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 name of the operator is displayed on the 
lock screen (P.38).
・
To check your phone number (own number), 
from the Home screen, 
u

u
[About phone]
u
[Status] to 
see "My phone number".
・
To check the software version, from the Home 
screen, 
u

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.204, P.211).
・
By upgrading Android software, 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.
・
Set password etc. for screen lock to ensure the 
security of your terminal for its loss (P.164).
・
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, Google Play, etc., Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Emergency call
❖
Note
・
This terminal supports "Emergency call location 
information". If you use the terminal to place a call to 
emergency numbers such as 110, 119, or 118, the 
information of a location where you are calling from 
(location information) is automatically notified to the 
Emergency call acceptance organization such as the 
Police Station.
The Emergency call acceptance organization may not 
be able to figure out your exact location depending 
on the location where you place a call or radio wave 
condition.
If you make a call hiding your caller ID, such as by 
entering a phone number with "184" for each call, the 
location information and phone number are not 
notified. However, the Emergency call acceptance 
organization may decide to obtain the location 
information and phone number regardless of your 
settings when they consider it is necessary for 
lifesaving, etc. Note that the areas/time for which the 
"Emergency call location information" is ready to be 
used vary depending on the preparatory state of each 
Emergency call acceptance organization.

in a stationary position to prevent the call from being 
dropped. Do not power off the terminal for at least 
10 minutes after the emergency call just in case the 
Police or Fire/Ambulance may have to get in contact 
with you.
・
Note that you may not connect to the local Fire 
Department or Police Station depending on where

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.
The Association for Promotion of Digital 
Broadcasting
http://www.dpa.or.jp/english/
Using Full seg/1Seg
Full seg and 1Seg are services provided by TV 
broadcasting enterprises (stations), etc. A 
communication fee for receiving video 
picture and sound is not required. Contact 
NHK for details on your NHK viewing fees.
There are 2 types of information displayed in 
the data broadcasting area: "Data 
broadcasting" and "Data broadcasting site". 
"Data broadcasting" is displayed using 
airwave along with images and sounds; while 
"Data broadcasting site" is displayed by 
connecting to a site provided by TV 
broadcasting enterprises (stations), etc., 
using information of data broadcasting.
For viewing "Data broadcasting site", etc., 
packet communication fees are charged.

broadcasting service area, reception 
condition may be poor or reception may be 
unavailable in the following places:
・
A place far from the tower that the airwaves 
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

Your current location can be positioned using 
GPS, Wi-Fi, or mobile network.
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.29). The 
first time you use the GPS, it may take about 
10 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.

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 communications products 
(mobile phone, data detectors and some 
others) block satellite signals and also causes 
instability of signal reception.

device, reception interference may occur or 
the communications speed may lower. 
Also, you may hear noise or have a 
connection problem. Communication may 
be interrupted or sound may be lost while 
streaming data, etc. In these cases, do the 
following:
・
Keep the terminal and Bluetooth device 
to be connected wirelessly approximately 
10 or more meters away from a wireless 
LAN device.
・
Within approximately 10 meters, turn off 
the Bluetooth device to be connected.

・
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.

rescue of a sick person or maintaining public's 
safety are exempted.
■
In places such as theaters, cinemas, and art 
galleries
Using the terminal in a public place, where you 
need to be quiet, annoys people around you.
Keep your voice and ring tone down

around you when taking and sending photos 
using camera-equipped mobile phones.
