Information about 1Seg
･
1Seg is a service provided by TV broadcasting
companies (TV stations).
･
The 1Seg service broadcasts TV programs and data
free of charge. You do not need to subscribe to the
service.
･
In the data broadcast area, two types of information
are displayed: data broadcast and data broadcasting
websites. The data broadcast is the data carried
together with images and sounds via broadcasting
signals. The data broadcasting websites enable you
to connect to the Internet sites provided by TV
broadcasting companies (TV stations) from the data
broadcast information. Also, your FOMA terminal
may connect to i-mode sites. To connect to those
sites, subscription to the i-mode service is required.
･
While you are viewing a data broadcasting website or
i-mode site, packet communication fee is charged.
You may need to pay information fee to access
certain sites (i-mode pay sites).
Information about radio waves
･
1Seg is a broadcasting service which receives radio
waves (broadcasting signals) different from those
used for the FOMA service. You cannot receive 1Seg
in the place where broadcasting signals cannot reach
or while TV stations are out of service, regardless of
inside or outside of the FOMA service area.
Even within the terrestrial digital TV broadcasting
service area, broadcasting signals may deteriorate or
not be received in the following places:
･
Places distant from the broadcast tower
･
Where radio waves are blocked by mountains or
buildings
･
Where radio waves are weak or cannot reach, such
as tunnels, underground and locations deep within
a building
･
Extend the 1Seg antenna completely for a better
signal reception. Signal reception may be improved
by changing the antenna direction, moving your
FOMA terminal away from or close to your body or
moving to another location.
