GPS
You can use your FOMA terminal's GPS
function and compatible software to
check your present location, find
directions to a destination, etc.
DOCOMO shall not accept liability for any
damage caused by a malfunction of the
GPS system.
DOCOMO shall not accept liability for any
purely economic damages caused by
missed opportunities to check the
measurement (communication) results due
to external factors, such as a failure or
malfunction of the FOMA terminal, or a
power failure (including the battery
running down).
You cannot use the FOMA terminal as a
navigation device for an aircraft, vehicle or
person. DOCOMO shall therefore not
accept any liability for damages caused by
navigation using the location information.
You cannot use the FOMA terminal as a
high-accuracy measurement GPS.
DOCOMO shall therefore accept no liability
for damages caused by measurement error.
GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense. GPS signals are subject to control
adjustments (reduced accuracy, stoppage
of signal, etc.) at the discretion of the
Department.
Some wireless communications products
(mobile phones, data detectors, etc.) block
satellite signals and cause instability of
signal reception.
The display of some maps based on
location information (latitude/longitude
information) may be inaccurate due to the
regulations of some countries or regions.
You may find it impossible or difficult to
receive the GPS signal in the following
conditions because GPS uses radio waves
from a satellite.
• Inside or immediately underneath a
building
• In a basement or tunnel, underground, or
underwater
• In a bag or box
• In a built-up or residential area
• In or under thick trees
• Near a high-voltage cable
• Inside cars or trains
• In heavy rain, snow, or other bad weather
• When there are obstructions (people or
objects) near the FOMA terminal
• When the GPS antenna section of the
FOMA terminal is covered with a hand
