Abstract
An apparatus and method for notifying a user if a mobile terminal is located in an area where its power consumption is high is provided. The voltage level of a battery provided to the mobile terminal is detected. If the detected battery voltage level is reduced by at least a predetermined reference value or more for a predetermined period of time, the mobile terminal determines that the mobile terminal is located in an area where power consumption is high, and then informs the user thereof.
