Updating software
This function establishes a network connection and checks whether the FOMA terminal software needs to be updated. If update
is required, this function downloads a part of software
by packet communication and then updates the software. When software
update is required, the information can be viewed on the NTT DOCOMO websites or in "
お客様サポート" (User support) (in Japanese
only) of iMenu. Software may be updated in the following three methods : "Auto-update", "Now update" and "Reserved update".
*
It is possible to perform software updates while keeping your Phonebook entries, camera images, downloaded data and
other data saved on the FOMA terminal intact. However, note that in some cases data cannot be protected depending
on the condition of your FOMA t
erminal (malfunction, damage, water exposure, etc.). It is recommended that you back
up necessary data. P
lease note that it may not be possible to back up some data such as downloaded data.

Note
・
Never remove the battery pack while updating software. Doing so may cause the update to fail.
・
Charge the battery fully before updating software.
・
Software updates (downloading and rewriting) may take time.
・
While software is being updated, functions such as making calls, receiving calls or communication
functions, and other functions are not available (While downloading, voice calls can be answered).
・
It is recommended that you perform software updates when the FOMA terminal is stationary and in a location with good signal quality (three bars
for the antenna icon). If the reception becomes poor and then the download is interrupted, try to update again in a location with good signal quality.
・
When software is updated, the unique information (model, serial number, etc.) of your FOMA terminal is automatically
transmitted to the server at DOCOMO. We do not use the transmitted information for any purposes other than Software Update.
・
If the update fails, the message "Rewrite failed" will appear and all operations will become
unavailable. In this case, please seek advice at a repair counter specified by DOCOMO.
