Before Using the Handset
Use the FOMA terminal’s dedicated Battery Pack P19.
Life of battery pack
Battery packs are consumables. The usable time shortens slightly each time they are
charged.
When the usable time of the battery pack becomes half the time it was purchased,
replacing is recommended because the battery pack is nearing the end of its life.
Depending on the use conditions, the battery pack may swell as it nears the end of its
life, but this is not a problem.
The life of the battery pack may shorten if you use i-αppli programs, talk on the
videophone, watch 1Seg programs and so on for a long time during charging.
Charging
For details, refer to the instruction manuals for the FOMA AC Adapter 01/02 (option),
FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global use (option), and FOMA DC Adapter 01/02 (option).
The FOMA AC Adapter 01 supports 100 V AC only. The FOMA AC Adapter 02 and
FOMA AC Adapter 01 for Global use support from 100 V AC through 240 V AC.
The shape of the plug for the AC adapter is for 100 V AC (for domestic use). To use the
AC adapter that supports from 100 V AC through 240 V AC overseas, you need to
have a conversion plug adapter that is compatible with the voltage of the country you
stay. Do not use a transformer for overseas travel to charge the battery pack.
Even during charging, you can still answer calls if the FOMA terminal is turned on. This
will consume the charged amount so that charging will take longer. Also, the standby
time or talk time might be shorter if you charge the battery pack with your FOMA
terminal open.
If you have a long time videophone call during charging, the temperature in the FOMA
terminal may rise and charging may be suspended. In such a case, wait for a while and
try charging again.
Remove and insert the connector slowly and carefully, without using unnecessary
force.
Do not remove the battery pack during charging.
Charging
To prevent damage to the environment, bring used battery
packs to a docomo service counter, a docomo agent or a
recycle center.
Li-ion 00
Do not charge for long periods of time (several days) with the FOMA
terminal turned on.
If you leave the FOMA terminal powered on for long periods of time during charging,
you may not be able to use the FOMA terminal for long duration as expected and the
low battery alarm may sound soon, because the FOMA terminal receives the power
from the battery pack after charging is completed. If this happens, charge the battery
pack correctly. When charging the battery pack again, first remove the FOMA terminal
from the AC adapter (or desktop holder) or DC adapter and then set it again.
Estimated usable time for battery pack (The usable time for the battery pack
varies with the charging time and the remaining life of the battery pack.)
The continuous talk time is the estimated time that the FOMA terminal can be used for
calls when radio waves can be sent and received normally.
The 1Seg watching time is the estimated time for when radio waves can be received
normally with the Stereo Earphone Set 01 (option) connected.
The continuous standby time is the estimated time when radio waves can be received
normally. The standby time and talk/communication time could be about half of the
estimate and 1Seg watching time could be shorter depending on the charge level of
the battery pack, function settings, other ambient conditions such as temperature, and
the status of radio waves in the area (weak or no radio waves, for instance). When you
use i-mode communication, the talk/communication time and standby time will be
shorter. Further, even if you do not make calls or not execute i-mode communication,
the talk/communication time and standby time will be shorter if you watch 1Seg
programs, compose i-mode mail, start up a downloaded i-αppli program or the i-αppli
Stand-by display, execute data communication or Multiaccess, use the camera, play
back music, or use Bluetooth connections.
The continuous talk time and the continuous standby time may be shortened
depending on the network environment in the country you stay.
The continuous standby time for standstill is the average number of hours you can use the
FOMA terminal in standstill status when it is closed and can receive radio waves normally.
The continuous standby time for in motion is the average number of hours you can
use the FOMA terminal in the combined status of “standstill” “moving” and “out of the
service area” when it is closed, in an area where it can receive radio waves normally.
