F2402 mobile terminal.
Treated with care, the
F2402 mobile terminal will be your able partner.
Before Using FOMA F2402
● The FOMA terminal can be used on equipment satisfying the following conditions:
・PC
・PC-AT compatible machine equipped with a PC card slot supporting PC Card Standard Type II and operating on the Japanese version
of Windows® 98, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000 Professional, Windows® XP Home Edition or Windows® XP Professional*.
● Because your 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 when outside the
service area. Even when you are high up in a tall building or condominium and nothing blocks your view outside, your FOMA
terminal may not be able to receive or transmit signals. Also, communication may be interrupted even when there is a strong
signal and the status indicator (ANT) is on green.
● Use your FOMA terminal in a way that does not disturb others in public spaces, crowded locations or quiet places.
● Because your FOMA terminal uses radio waves to communicate, there is a possibility that third parties may attempt to listen in
on your calls. The W-CDMA system automatically supports a confidential communication function for all calls so even if
someone should somehow be able to tap a call, the signals are modified so that the eavesdropping party will hear only noise.
● Your FOMA terminal encodes voice communication as digital data. When you are operating your FOMA terminal while moving to
a location subject to weaker radio wave signals, the transmitted digital data may not be correctly decoded and as a result the
decoded voice may differ somewhat from the actual voice.
● DoCoMo will assume no responsibility for any genuine economic losses, such as damages due to a lost communication
opportunity caused by FOMA terminal's malfunction, failure or other external factors, like power outage.
● The FOMA terminal can be used only via the FOMA network provided by DoCoMo.
● Since this product is classified as strategic material controlled under the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law, an
export admission based on this law is required prior to export.
