There are provided a radio communication terminal device and a radio
communication function control method enabling a user to perform
off-operation of only the mobile telephone function when the user is in a
radio LAN area. In the device and the method, a radio dual terminal (100)
is a radio communication terminal device having both of the communication
function via a mobile telephone base station (101) of a mobile telephone
system (mobile telephone function) and the communication function via a
radio LAN base station (102) of the radio LAN system (radio LAN
function). When the radio dual terminal (100) comes into the radio LAN
area (104), a message asking whether to turn off the mobile telephone
function appears on the display screen. If the user answers Yes, only the
mobile telephone function is turned off, thereby reducing the power
consumption when in the radio LAN area (104). It should be noted that
when the radio dual terminal (100) goes out of the radio LAN area (104),
the mobile telephone function which has been off is automatically turned
on.
