Battery pack service life
Battery pack is a consumable product. Service time per charge is
gradually reduced every time the battery is charged.
When service time per charge is reduced to about half of the default time,
this means that the battery pack is approaching the end of its service life.
In such a case, it is recommended to replace the battery pack as soon as
possible. Depending on usage, the battery pack may swell as it
approaches the end of its service life but this will not cause problems.
If i-
a
ppli, Videophone, or 1Seg is used while charging for a long
time, the service life of the battery pack may become shorter than
estimated.
To protect the environment, return used batteries to NTT
DoCoMo, any DoCoMo retailer, or a recycling agency.

About charging batteries
Refer to user’s guide of FOMA AC Adapter 01/02 (sold separately),
FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global use (sold separately), or FOMA
DC Adapter 01/02 (sold separately).
FOMA AC Adapter 01 covers only 100 VAC. FOMA AC Adapter 02/
FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global use covers from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.
The shape of the plug for the AC adapter is for 100 VAC (for
domestic use). To use the AC adapter of 100 VAC to 240 VAC
overseas, a conversion plug adapter that is compatible with the
voltage of your country of stay is required. Do not use a transformer
for use overseas to charge the battery.

Cautions when charging
Do not charge for long periods of time with the power left on. If the
FOMA terminal is left on after charging is complete, the battery pack
charge decreases.
In such cases, the AC or DC adapter charges the battery again.
However, depending on when the FOMA terminal is disconnected from
the AC or DC adapter, the battery charge level may be low, the battery
alert tone may sound, or the battery may only be usable for a short time.
When the battery is empty and terminal is recharging, charging LED
may not illuminate immediately.
If the alert tone sounds and the power cannot be turned on, charge
the battery for a while.
If the battery empty alert is displayed and charging begins within 60
seconds of the alert tone, the status returns to normal.
While charging, terminal may not turn on even when charging LED
is illuminated in red. Charge longer and try turning power on again.
Frequently recharging the battery when its power is still remaining
enough may shorten the life of the battery pack. It is recommended
to use the battery to a certain level before recharging.
The battery pack cannot be charged by itself.
[Read “FOMA AC adapter 01/02 (sold separately) and FOMA
DC adapter 01/02 (sold separately) user’s guide” carefully.]
Battery pack can be charged with FOMA terminal open or in the
viewer position.
