GPS Function
p
GPS is operated by the United States Department of
Defense, so the GPS radio wave conditions might be
controlled (accuracy deterioration, radio wave supply
suspension, etc.) depending on the defense strategy of the
United States Department of Defense.
p
Note that we do not take any responsibility for a loss such as
pure economic loss resulting from the facts that you have
missed the chance to check the measurement

FOMA phone.

You cannot use the FOMA phone as a navigating system for
aircraft, vehicles, and people. Therefore, note that we are not
held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of
the location information for navigation.
