A wireless communications device for performing wireless communications includes a notifying unit for notifying a user of a status of the corresponding wireless communications device when a dedicated user interface is manipulated, a display unit and a detector for detecting failure in the display unit. The notifying unit notifies the user of the status of the corresponding wireless communications device when a failure in the display unit is detected by the detector and prevents the status of the corresponding wireless communications device from being notified when the failure in the display unit is not detected by the detector.
