About GPS

• GPS is a function to obtain location information of this mobile
phone by receiving radio waves from GPS satellites.
• This cannot be used as navigation equipment for airplane,
vehicle or person, or as high-accuracy surveying GPS. Note
that we do not take any responsibility for a loss, such as pure
economic loss resulting from use of GPS function for these
purposes, or the facts that you have missed the chance to
check the positioning (communication) results, which have
been caused by external factors such as malfunctions,
erroneous operations, or power failure (including battery
shortage) on this mobile phone.
• GPS is operated by the United States Department of Defense,
so the GPS radio wave conditions might be controlled
(accuracy deterioration, radio wave supply suspension, etc.)
depending on the defense strategy of the United States
Department of Defense. Further, the result may vary even
when positioning is performed in the same location and
environment since radio wave conditions change along with
movement of satellites.
• GPS uses radio waves from artificial earth satellites. Therefore,
error in location information may be larger than 300 m as it
may not/poorly receive radio waves under following
conditions:
• Among or under densely planted trees, high-rise buildings
and dense residential area
• Inside or very close to a building
• Underground, tunnel, subterranean area and under water
• Near high-tension wire
• In a vehicle or train
• In bad weather (heavy rain and snow)
• In a bag or box
• Surrounded by objects (including people)
