Battery pack life
■ The battery pack is a consumable part
Each time it is charged, it will accept slightly less charge than the previous time.
■ When the battery charge lasts only half as long as when it was new
The end of battery pack life is approaching. Replace it with a new one immediately. Depending on usage, the
battery pack may swell as it nears the end of its life, but this will not cause a problem.
■ If you use i- α ppli or videophone for a long time during charging
The battery pack life may be shortened.
■ The FOMA terminal uses a lithium ion battery containing valuable materials that
should be recycled
To protect the environment, return used batteries to an NTT DoCoMo service counter, NTT
DoCoMo agent or recycling center.
■ Take the following precautions when recycling batteries
･ Attach a piece of adhesive tape on the terminals of used battery packs.
･ Do not disassemble or modify battery packs.
Charging
The battery pack can be charged regardless of whether the FOMA terminal is turned on or off. However,
charging takes longer with the power on.
■ When charging is started
The Enter key lights in red.
When the power of the FOMA terminal is turned on, the charge alert sounds and the battery level icon blinks.
･ The default battery level icon differs depending on the color of the FOMA terminal. Even if you change the
battery level icon in Kisekae tool, appears during charging.
･ If the Enter key does not light in red at the start of charging or it blinks in red, charging is unsuccessful.
When the temperature of the FOMA terminal is high, the battery may not be charged. Stop any function in
progress and confirm that the temperature is low before charging again. If the battery pack still cannot be
charged even after charging again, contact “Repairs” on the back of this manual.
■ When charging is completed with the power on
The charge alert sounds and the battery level icon lights.
■ When the battery is fully charged
Connecting the FOMA terminal to the AC adapter or DC adapter may not start charging.
