What is Emergency Alert “Area Mail”?
Function menu Operation/Explanation
When you receive an Area Mail message, the ring tone for Area Mail
sounds. The “Ring volume”, “Ring time”, and “Vibrator” settings follow
those of “Mail”.
When you receive an emergency earthquake alert, a dedicated buzzer
(alarm) sounds, and the vibrator works to notify you. Further, the
contents are automatically displayed. “Ring volume” is fixed to “Level 4”,
and “Vibrator” is fixed to “Melody linkage”, so you cannot change their
settings. You can use “Area mail settings” to set “Beep time”.
Up to 30 Area Mail messages are saved separately from i-mode mail
messages and SMS messages in the Inbox.
