Charging the FOMA Terminal
At the time of purchase, the battery pack is not fully charged. Make sure to fully
charge the battery pack before using the FOMA terminal for the first time.
About Charging the FOMA Terminal

For details, see the user’s manual of the FOMA AC Adapter 01/02 (optional), FOMA AC Adapter
01 for Global use (optional), or FOMA DC Adapter 01/02 (optional).

The FOMA AC Adapter 01 is only compatible with AC 100 V. The FOMA AC Adapter 02 and
FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global use are compatible with AC 100 V to AC 240 V.

The shape of the AC adapter’s power plug is only for use with AC 100 V (domestic
specification). For using the AC adapter which is compatible with AC 100 V to AC 240 V
overseas, a plug adapter that fits the electrical outlets in the country you stay is needed. Do not
use an electrical transformer for overseas use to charge the FOMA terminal.

Make sure to attach the battery pack in the FOMA terminal before connecting it to the optional AC Adapter,
Desktop Holder, or DC Adapter. If the battery pack is not attached, the FOMA terminal cannot be charged.

If you use a function such as videophone, data communication, and i- α ppli while charging the battery, the
charging may stop because of high temperature of the FOMA terminal. The charging may not even start if the
FOMA terminal is in high temperature. Wait until the temperature of the FOMA terminal falls and restart charging.

If the charge indicator of the FOMA terminal flashes in red, wait until the temperature of the
FOMA terminal falls or remove the battery pack and attach it back again.
If it continues to flash in red, the battery pack may be defective. Stop charging immediately
and contact our service counter (DoCoMo shop, etc.).

Do not charge the battery pack for a long period of time (more than 24 hours) with the FOMA
terminal powered on. If the FOMA terminal is powered on when charging is completed, the
battery level decreases. This causes the FOMA terminal to restart charging. If you remove the
FOMA terminal while it is recharging, the following conditions may occur.
- The battery level is low.
- The battery alarm sounds. - The operation time is short.


The charging time is an estimated time for charging when the battery pack is empty and the FOMA terminal
is powered off. When charging with the FOMA terminal powered on, the charging time becomes longer.

The continuous call time is an estimated time for a call when the FOMA terminal can send/receive radio waves properly.

The continuous stand-by time is an estimated battery time available on the FOMA terminal when
it is closed and can receive radio waves properly. The continuous stand-by time during the
stationary state indicates the average battery time available on the FOMA terminal that is placed
stationary when it is closed and can receive radio waves properly. The continuous stand-by time
during the moving state indicates the average battery time available on the FOMA terminal that
is placed in mixture of the following states: “stationary”, “moving”, and “outside of the service
area” when it is closed and within an area where it can receive radio waves properly.

Note that the call (communication) time and stand-by time may be reduced to about half of the time indicated
above depending on the operating environment such as the charge level of the battery, how functions are set,
and temperature, and radio wave condition in the area where a call is placed (outside of the service area or area
with weak radio wave condition). Similarly, the call (communication) time and stand-by time become shorter than
the above when you use i-mode communication. Besides calls and i-mode communication, the battery time is
also reduced when you are composing i-mode mail, starting a downloaded i-
α ppli or i- α ppli stand-by display,
performing data communication, executing multiaccess, using the camera, and using the MUSIC Player.
