To Customers using M2501 HIGH-SPEED
Thank You for Purchasing the "FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED".
Before or while using the FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED, be sure to thoroughly read "Manual for FOMA 
M2501 HIGH-SPEED" to ensure its correct use. If you handle the FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED incorrectly,  
it may cause malfunction or damaged. Treat it carefully at all times to ensure long-term performance.
■ Precautions for Connecting to PC
As shown on the right hand figure, hold the FOMA terminal with the label side up and slide 
straight into the PC card slot.
• You may feel inconvenient to insert the FOMA terminal to the card slot depending on the PC. However, 
do not insert it by sheer strength. Otherwise, the terminal and your PC may be crushed or damaged. If 
the terminal does not insert smoothly, make sure it is aligned properly and try to insert it again.
* You will be charged for repair if the damage is caused by your mishandling.
■ Removing the FOMA M2501 Terminal from its Case
Hold the case horizontally, open the case in the 
direction of a, and pull out the terminal in the 
direction of b. 
If you open the case upside down against shown on 
the left figure, the FOMA terminal may fall off and 
fritz out. Also, this may impose a strain to its 
connector causing malfunction or damage to it.

■ Information to Customer
 The message "64Kデータ通信中" (Performing 64K Data Communication) may remain on the M2501 HIGH-SPEED Utility screen 
infrequently even after disconnecting 64K data communication*. To remove this message, restart the M2501 HIGH-SPEED Utility. This 
does not indicate any problem with the FOMA terminal.
* Disconnection of 64K data communication can be confirmed if the Mode Indicator Lamp is turned off. (Refer to the "Manual for FOMA 
M2501 HIGH-SPEED (Connection Guide)", P17 "Lamp").

DoCoMo W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS Systems
Thank You for Purchasing the “FOMA M2501 HIGH-
SPEED”.
Before or while using the FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED, be sure to thoroughly read this manual to 
ensure its correct use. For further information, contact the “DoCoMo Information Center” on the 
back of this manual.
The FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED is designed to be your close partner.
Treat it carefully at all times to ensure long-term performance.
Before Using the FOMA Terminal
・ Because the FOMA terminal uses radio waves, it may not function in locations where it is 
difficult for radio waves to penetrate, such as tunnels, underground passages and some 
buildings; in areas where radio wave signals are weak; or out of the service area. Even when 
you are on a higher floor of a tall building or condominium and nothing blocks your view outside, 
the FOMA terminal may not be able to receive or transmit signals. Also, communication may be 
interrupted even when the Antenna Indication Lamp on the FOMA terminal lights green 
indicating a strong signal reception in a fixed location.
・ Use the FOMA terminal in ways that do not disturb others in public places, crowded locations, 
or quiet locations.
・ Because the FOMA terminal uses radio waves to communicate, there is always the risk of your 
calls being intercepted by a third party. However, the W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS systems 
automatically supports tapping prevention for all calls, so if a third party succeeds in intercepting 
your call, only incomprehensible noise will be heard.
・ The FOMA terminal communicates via radio waves by converting voices into digital signals. If 
you move into an area where signal reception is poor, the digital signals may not be accurately 
decoded and what you hear may differ slightly from what was actually said.
・ DoCoMo is not responsible for any economic losses incurred through lost communication 
opportunities caused by external factors such as malfunction or failure of the FOMA terminal, 
or electrical outage.
・ The FOMA terminal can be operated in FOMA Plus-Areas and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Areas.
・ The FOMA terminal can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DoCoMo and 
DoCoMo’s roaming area.
i-mode sites or i-appli, etc.).
・ This FOMA terminal does not support i-mode functions (i-mode mail, connection to official 
・ This FOMA terminal cannot receive SMS (Short Message Service). Therefore, it is 
recommended that you set to reject receiving all SMS messages. For details on setting to reject 
all SMS, refer to “ご利用ガイドブック(ネットワークサービス編)(Mobile Phone User’s 
Guide [Network service])”.
