Before using your FOMA Phone
Because the FOMA phones use radio waves, they cannot be used in places where radio waves do not reach, such as
inside tunnels, underground, or in buildings; or the outside where radio waves are weak or out of the FOMA service area.
They may not be used in the high-rise buildings even when the antennas are unobstructed. You may also experience
interruption of calls even when using without moving while the radio waves are strong enough for the three antennas to
appear on the display.
Use the FOMA phone carefully to avoid disturbing other people when in public, or in crowded or quiet places.
Since the FOMA phones use radio waves as the medium of telecommunication, calls may be tapped by the third party.
However, the W-CDMA system automatically supports tapping prevention, so your conversation will be incomprehensible
to the third party.
The FOMA phones change your voice into digital signals and send them to the other party. In places where the radio
waves are weak, the digital signals may not be converted correctly, and in such a case, the voice heard may sound
different from the actual original voice.
It is recommended that you make separate notes of the information stored in the FOMA phone and keep such notes in a
safe place. DoCoMo cannot be held responsible in any way for the loss of data stored in the phone.
The user hereby agrees that the user shall be solely responsible for the result of the use of SSL. Neither DoCoMo nor the
certifier as listed herein makes any representation and warranty as for the security in the use of SSL. In the event that the
user shall sustain damage or loss due to the use of SSL, neither DoCoMo nor the certifier shall be responsible for any
such damage or loss.
