Applications
GPS is a function to retrieve location information of the phone by receiving radio waves from GPS satellites. Enable location information services ([Use wireless networks] or
[Use GPS satellites]) to measure the present location (
n
P. 26).
You cannot use the phone as a navigation system for professional use of aircrafts, vehicles, person, etc. or surveying GPS of high accuracy. Note that SHARP shall
not be liable for the pure economic loss caused by using the GPS for these purposes or other purposes such as you cannot confirm the positioning (communication)
result due to phone failure, malfunction or external factors such as power failure (including battery exhaustion).
GPS is a service administered by Department of Defense of USA. 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 change depending on the location of the GPS satellites.
Note that GPS uses the radio waves from satellites, therefore the following conditions may cause the radio waves to abort or have difficulty receiving (resulting in an
error of 300m or more for present location information).
Under densely packed trees, or in an area with lots of buildings
In or under buildings
In a basement, tunnel, underground or underwater
Near high voltage power lines
Inside cars or trains
In bad weather with heavy rain/snow
In bags or boxes
When people or objects are blocking the phone
When hands are covering camera, earpiece or proximity sensor of the phone
When using a map and GPS function overseas, the displayed map based on the acquired location information (latitude and longitude information) may not be accurate
because of the legal system in each country and the area.
Packet communication charges may be incurred, since assist data such as satellite information is automatically retrieved when you position present location.
Packet communication charges are incurred when you display a map based on the location information.
Use Google Maps. You can measure your present location, and use the navigation function to check how to get to your destination in detail.
It is necessary to enable location information services ([Use wireless networks] or [Use GPS satellites]) to measure the present location (nP. 26).
