Applications
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
