result or to communicate due to handset failure, malfunction or
external factors such as power failure (including battery
exhaustion).

GPS is a service administered by the U.S. Department of
Defense. Therefore, GPS radio wave condition may be controlled
(accuracy degradation, radio wave abort, etc.) for US national
security reasons. In addition, the same results may not be
retrieved even when positioned in the same location and
environment, since the radio wave conditions may change
depending on the location of the GPS satellites.

Note that GPS uses the radio waves from artificial satellites,
therefore the following conditions may prevent the radio waves
from being received or prevent the reception status of the radio
waves from being satisfactory, resulting in an error of 300 m or
more for location information.
In or under a dense forest, in density area with buildings or
