1. A terminal apparatus comprising:
a distance information acquisition section that acquires distance information representing a distance between the terminal apparatus and an electronic instrument through short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument;
a direction information acquisition section that acquires first direction information representing a direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus through the short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument; and
a display control section that controls a display on a display section,
wherein when the distance to the electronic instrument based on the distance information is greater than or equal to a threshold specified in advance, the display control section causes the display section to display a first screen containing a direction display that displays the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus based on the acquired first direction information, and
when the distance to the electronic instrument is not greater than or equal to the threshold, the display control section causes the display section to display a second screen different from the first screen.
