Abstract: On a substrate (200), a resistor (24R) is disposed between a position of an amplifier circuit (11) and a position of a duplexer (24), thereby reducing coupling occurring in a space between the amplifier circuit (11) and a path extending from a main switch (26) to a reception terminal (P24) through the duplexer (24). Even when an RX terminal (242) of the duplexer (24) is oriented toward an amplifier circuit (11) side, a high-frequency module (100) reduces the coupling and can thus prevent a harmonic of a transmission signal in a low band from leaking to the reception terminal (P24) through a path formed by the coupling. That is, the high-frequency module (100) can prevent a reduction in isolation characteristics in the low band and a high band and also provide flexibility in substrate layout.

The terminating circuit element is disposed on the second signal path between the band pass filter and the ground.

Abstract: A data communication apparatus has a transmission function of transmitting data to a pre-set transmission destination. A data communication apparatus, when importing at least one of an address book and setting information based on import data including data that has been exported by another data communication apparatus, determines data to be imported. The data communication apparatus determines, with respect to each of the address book and the setting information, if the address book or the setting information is actually to be imported. Furthermore, if it is determined that either one of the address book and the setting information is to be imported, but the other one is not to be imported, the use of the transmission function is restricted after import processing has been performed based on the import data.
