◎ Reception of Emergency early warning mail is notified by a special
warning tone. It is not possible to change the warning tone.
◎ Emergency earthquake information is sent to areas where strong
quakes (level 4 or more on the Japanese intensity scale) are
expected when the expected maximum seismic intensity is higher
than lower 5.

◎ The Earthquake Early Warning system provides advance
announcement of the estimated seismic intensities and expected
arrival time of principal motion. These estimations are based on
prompt analysis of the focus and magnitude of the earthquake using
wave form data observed by seismographs near the epicenter.
◎ Emergency earthquake information may not arrive before strong
tremors in arrears near the epicenter.
◎ Tsunami warning is a notification delivered from the meteorological
bureau (major tidal wave, seismic sea wave) to the area including
target coast.
◎ Disaster evacuation information is a service that distributes
bulletins concerning residents' safety including evacuation
advisories, evacuation orders and other warnings issued by the
national and local governments.
◎ The service is available only in Japan (it cannot be used overseas).
◎ No information fee or communication charge is required for receiving
Emergency early warning mail.
◎ The company is not liable for damages suffered by customers
resulting from the service's information, lack or delay in the
information caused by transmission or system breakdowns, or other

◎ You cannot receive Emergency early warning mail when your cell
phone is turned off or during a call.
◎ Emergency early warning mail may not be received when your cell
phone is communicating such as while sending/receiving SMS/e-
mail or using the browser, or if you are in a place where signal does
not reach even in the service area (e.g. in a tunnel, basement) or in a
place with a poor reception.
◎ You cannot receive Emergency early warning mail that the reception
is failed.
◎ This delivery system is different from emergency earthquake
information provided through TV, radio, or other communication
procedures, which means that the time the emergency earthquake
information arrives may vary.

received.
