● Before Using the 1Seg
• 1Seg is a service provided by TV broadcast
companies (broadcast stations).
Receiving video and audio is free. For more
information about NHK reception fees,
contact NHK.
• There are two types of information displayed
in the data broadcasting area: "Data
broadcasts" and "Data broadcast sites".
"Data broadcasts" are displayed by
broadcast wave for both video and audio,
and "Data broadcast sites" are displayed by
connecting to the site provided by the TV
broadcasting company (broadcast station)
through the data broadcast information.
To view "Data broadcast sites", etc.
packet communication fees are charged.
Information fees may be required to access
some sites.
● Broadcast wave
1Seg is one of broadcast services, and
receives radio waves (broadcast waves)
that are different from FOMA/Xi service.
Therefore, it is not possible to receive
at locations where broadcast waves do
not reach or during time zones where
broadcasting is off regardless of whether you
are in an area with FOMA/Xi service.
In addition, in areas with digital terrestrial TV
broadcast service, reception may be poor or
may not be available in the following locations.
• Locations far from the broadcasting tower
where the broadcast wave is sent
• Locations where waves are blocked by
landscape or buildings such as in the
mountains and or near buildings
• Locations where waves are weak such
as tunnels, underground, and building
basements
In order to have better reception, completely
extend the 1Seg antenna. Changing the
antenna orientation or changing location may
help improve reception.
