Abstract
Abstract When a portable terminal apparatus such as a radiotelephone cannot be used, such status of portable terminal apparatus can be detected, and it is diagnosed whether the portable terminal apparatus is out of order. Thus, the portable terminal apparatus can be maintained efficiently. The portable terminal apparatus includes a reception state detecting unit (21) for analysing a reception state of a receiving unit (12), and display unit (23) for displaying a message on the basis of an analyzed state at the reception state detecting unit (21), wherein when a failure of connection or maintenance of communication network is detected, a predetermined message is displayed on the display unit (23). Further, the portable terminal apparatus includes a memory means (24) for storing log data concerning communication with a base station when the control means (21) detects a failure of communication.
