● You cannot update software:

Updating Software

● You cannot use other functions during software update. However, you can transfer the incoming calls or

operate the voice memo as wel l as receive voice calls during downloading.

● SSL communication with the server (DoCoMo’s site) is performed upon software update. Enable the

certificate in advance. (The default setting is “Valid”.)

● During software update, mail and Msg. Request/Free cannot be received, and stored in the i-mode center instead.

● If “Receive option setting” is set to “ON”, message of an incoming mail may not appear after updating the

software when you receive the mails during the software update.

and messages stored in the i-mode center and the voice mail service center are not deleted.

● You can leave the existing data such as the phonebook, the camera images, the downloaded data in your

mobile phone even if updating the software. However, depending on your terminal condition (such as

failure, damage and water exposure), data may not be preserved. It is recommended to backup the

required data. (Some data such as downloaded data may not be backed up.)

(Menu)

“Other settings” “Software update”

and enter your security code.

Check the notices and whether you need software update.

While the software is being updated, the information (such as model and serial number) specific to your terminal is automatically sent to the software update server managed by NTT DoCoMo.

NTT DoCoMo does not use the information sent from your terminal for any purposes other than software updating.

Make sure that an icon on the top of the screen is displayed as

shown on the right before updating software.

● It is recommended to perform software updates in a location with good radio

wave reception (the reception level indicator shows “

” ) at stationary state.

In case of poor radio wave reception while downloading software or the

downloading is canceled, move to a good location for reception to perform

software downloading.
