Contents/Precautions About using the terminal ･ The terminal supports LTE, W-CDMA, GSM/ GPRS and Wireless LAN Systems. ･ Because a terminal operates using radio frequencies, it cannot be used inside a tunnel, underground, in a building or other locations where radio waves do not reach the terminal, in locations with weak radio wave condition, or out of Xi/FOMA service area.
･ This terminal has FOMA Plus-Area and FOMA HIGH-SPEED Area support. ･ The terminal does not support i-mode sites (programs) or i-Dppli. ･ The terminal automatically performs communication for synchronizing data, checking the latest software version, and maintaining a connection with the server, and for other purposes. If you transmit a large amount of data, such as when downloading applications or watching video, a packet communication charge becomes high.
･ If your terminal is lost, change your each account password to invalidate authentication using a PC to prevent other persons from using Google services such as Gmail or Google Play, or SNS, etc. ･ For services provided by Google, refer to Google Terms of Service. For other web services, refer to each terms of service. ･ When a license agreement screen etc. appears, follow the onscreen instructions. ･ Applications and service contents are subject to change without prior notice.
