About signal
1Seg is one of the broadcasting services, and the receiving signal
(broadcast wave) differs from that of FOMA service. Therefore, it cannot be
received at the place where the broadcast wave does not reach or while the
broadcasting is out of service, regardless of whether the FOMA terminal is
outside or inside the FOMA service area.
Also, in the following places, the signal status may become weak or the
signal may not be received even if the FOMA terminal is inside the area of a
terrestrial digital TV broadcasting service.
Place that is far from the tower which sends the broadcasting wave
Place where the signal is interrupted due to the landscape or buildings
such as mountain areas or behind a building
Place where the signal is weak or does not reach to, such as a tunnel,
basement, or a place in the rear of a building
To receive in better conditions, hold the FOMA terminal apart from or close
to the body or move to another place, so that the reception status may
become better.
What is broadcast storage area?
A mobile phone has a storage area that is used exclusively for 1Seg
information. This area is called broadcast storage area. When watching a
program, the user may enter some information, following instructions
provided in the data broadcasting area. The broadcast storage area stores
this entered information, based on the setting made by the TV broadcaster
(broadcast station). Your personal information such as results of panel
shows, member's number, sex, age, and occupation may be stored.
These stored information may be displayed even if not re-entered when the
data broadcasting site is accessed. They may also be transmitted to the TV
broadcaster (broadcast station).
