Using the Earthquake Early Warning
The Earthquake Early Warning is a service that delivers Earthquake Early Warning
distributed by the Japan Meteorological Agency to au cell phones in the vicinity
of the earthquake center. The IS06 is set to receive Earthquake Early Warning by
default.
When you receive an Earthquake Early Warning, secure a safe location depending
on your surroundings and remain calm.
When an earthquake above level 5.0 on the Japanese scale is anticipated, the
■
Earthquake Early Warning will immediately provide information on where any
earthquake with a seismic intensity of 4.0 or more is expected to occur.
Immediately after an earthquake occurs, the earthquake (P waves or initial
■
tremors) are captured and the location, scale, and expected seismic intensity
are automatically calculated. The system then notifies affected regions as
quickly as possible some seconds in advance before strong tremors (S waves or
main tremor) begin.
Regions near the epicenter may not receive the Earthquake Early Warning
■
before strong tremors begin.
This service is available within Japan only.
■
The Earthquake Early Warning is available completely free of charge.
■
KDDI (au) cannot be held responsible for any losses or damages incurred due
■
to interrupted communications or system outages resulting in non-received or
delayed information, the content of that information, or any other issues related
to this service.
