About Radio Wave
1Seg is one of the broadcasting services and
uses the different radio wave (airwave) from
the FOMA service. Therefore, regardless of
whether you are outside/inside of the FOMA
service area, you cannot receive 1Seg
broadcasting in a place where the airwave
does not reach or in a time zone when it is out
of service.
Even if you are in the digital terrestrial
broadcasting service area, the receiving
condition may become worse or you cannot
receive anything in the following places.
Places where are far away from the radio wave
tower which send airwaves
Places such as interfered by mountains, covered
with a building where the radio wave is interrupted
by features or buildings
Places such as in the tunnel, basement, or building
where the radio wave is weak or does not reach at all
To make the radio wave condition better,
extend the 1Seg Antenna fully. Changing the
orientation of the antenna, placing the FOMA
terminal closer or further to the body, or moving
to another location may make the radio wave
condition better.
