The short and IPN localized GRB 141202A (IPN localization: S.
Golenetskii et al., GCN 17131; Fermi GBM Detection: O.J. Roberts et al.,
GCN 17133; Konus-Wind observation: S. Golenetskii et al., GCN 17136)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 11:17:5.508 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure lasting from T0s
to T0+2s, followed by a weaker emission seen with a duration (T90) of
about 1.8 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was
4.48 (-0.18, +0.10) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from
T0+0.5s was 7.61 (-2.44, -0.11) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 s to
T0+2 s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~  E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha       0.28 (-0.56, +0.48), and
Epeak       565 (-66, +96) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 24.5/25).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which
the systematic uncertainties are not included.
