Before or while using the FOMA A2502 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
A2502 HIGH-SPEED is designed to be your close partner. Treat it carefully
at all times to ensure longterm 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, under
ground 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 with 5 antenna indi-
cation bar.
●Use the FOMA terminal in ways that do not disturb others in public places,
crowded locations, or quiet locations.
●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 DoCoMoʼs roaming area.
●This FOMA terminal does not support i-mode functions (i-mode mail,
connection to official i-mode sites or i-applet, etc.)
