This function is for updating software programs in the FOMA terminal by using packet communication if necessary.
※
A packet communication fee for updating software programs is free.
The DOCOMO website and “
お客様サポート
(User support)” in Japanese
i
Menu lets you know information about
updating software programs. There are three methods for updating software programs; “Auto-update”, “Update Now”
and “Reserve Update”.
You can update software programs, with data retained, such as Phonebook entries, images shot by the camera, or
downloaded data in the FOMA terminal; however note that data may not be protected depending on the conditions (such
as malfunction, damage, or drench) your FOMA terminal is placed in. You are advised to back up important data. Note
that data such as downloaded ones might not be backed up.

Before using Software Update
Do not remove the battery pack while updating software programs. You may fail to update.
Fully charge the battery before updating software programs.
It may take time to update (download or rewrite) software programs.
You cannot make/receive calls, use communication functions, and other functions while updating software programs.
(You can receive voice calls during download.)
You are advised to update software programs when radio wave is strong enough with the three antennas displayed and
while you are not moving. If radio wave conditions get worse while downloading software programs, or download is
suspended, move to a place with better radio wave conditions and try again to update software programs.
When updating software programs, the proprietary information about your FOMA terminal (model name or serial number,
etc.) is automatically sent to the server (DOCOMO-managed server for Software Update). We at DOCOMO never use the
sent information for purposes other than to update software programs.
If you fail to update software programs, “Rewrite failed” is displayed and you cannot do all operations. In that
case, you are kindly requested to come to a repair counter specified by DOCOMO.
You cannot use Software Update overseas.
