Protecting Your Mobile Phone from Harmful Data
<Scan function>
At first, update the pattern definitions to get the latest definitions.
You can detect information related to the data and programs obtained into the FOMA
terminal from an external source, such as data downloaded from a site or i-mode mail,
and delete data or end the start-up of application that can cause a trouble.

Use the pattern definitions for checking. Since the pattern definitions are upgraded every time a new problem
is discovered, be sure to update the definitions (P.330).

The scanning function provides explicit protection against intrusive data that causes mobile phone trouble while
you are viewing a website or receiving mail. Note that if the pattern definitions corresponding to each trouble
are not downloaded to the mobile phone, or if there are no pattern definitions corresponding to each trouble,
this function cannot prevent the trouble occurrences.

The contents of the pattern definitions vary depending on the model of your mobile phone. Note that the
distribution of pattern definitions for models released more than three years ago may be discontinued at our
company’s discretion.
