GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographicallocation of your phone, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availabilityandaccuracy of this locationinformation (andthe amountof time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are usingthe GPS feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, betweenhigh buildings, or in other situations where you have not established a clearbroad view of the sky. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind”.
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature of your phone can help emergency personnel locate you if your phone has adequate accessto GPS satellitesignalsa nd your emergency response center is equipped to process such information.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Locationinformationappears on the phone’s display.
Java applications loaded on your phone can also request your location. If your phone is connected to a laptop computer or similar device, software running on that device can request your location. To protectyour privacy, you can controlwhether these requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

Ifyouare using theGPSfeatureofyourphone while driving, please give full attention to driving and to the road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available(usually because your GPS
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL
NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure
• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover
• Near a powerful radioor television tower

Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take much longerto do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 91 1 call, always report the location to the emergency response center if you can and if you cannot, remain on your phone for as long as the emergency response center instructs you.
Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature will only provide an approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometim es much further from your actual location. Advice on how to improve GPS performance is provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 70.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the need for carefulnavigating andgood judgment.
Never relysolely on one devicefor navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location

informationandthetimeneededtoobtainitwillvary depending on circumstances, particularly the ability to receivesignals from adequatenumbers of satellites.
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance informationfrom the phone network to improve the speed andaccuracy of your phone’s location calculation:if such assistance information becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy of the location calculation.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your phoneare controlled by the U.S. governmentand are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature of your phone.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response center.Ifyouareonanactivecall,youmustendit before calling 911.
Whenyoumakeanemergency911call,theGPS feature of your phone begins to seek informationto calculate your approximate location. It will take the
GPS feature of your phone some time to determine your approximate location. Even
where your phonehas good access to sufficient

Viewing Your Approximate Location

GPSsatellitesignals andnetwork assistdata, it may take 30 seconds or more to determine the approximate location. This time will increasewhere thereis reducedaccess to satellite signals. When your approximate location is determined,it is made available to the appropriateemergency response center.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency response center may not be equipped to receive GPS location information. For this reason, and
becauset he GPS location information reported is only approximate or may not be available in your location(see “IMPORTANT: Thingst o Keep in Mind” on page 67), always report your location to the 911 operator you speak to when making an emergency call, if able, just as you would when using a phone without GPS capabilities.
Note: If you areconcerned about whetheryour
local911 emergency responsecenteris equipped to receive GPS location information, contact your local authorities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals from more GPS satellites,your location will be determined faster and more accurately than if your phone has access to signals from fewer GPS satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate accessto GPS satellites signals,thelocation of the nearest celltower incontactwithyour phone isautomatically madeavailableto the emergency response center, if the center has the capability to receive such information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 70 for information on how to helpyour phonedetermine your location.

Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. If this happenswhen you are making an emergency call, the location of the nearest cell tower in contact with your phone is made available to the appropriate emergency response center if the centerhas the capability to receive such information. If this happens when you are trying to view your location on the phone’s display, you will see a message indicating that your phone cannot accesssatellites.
Enhancing GPS Performance
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successfulcalculation,do the following while your phone is determining your approximate location:
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
wherethere is nothingbetweenyourphone anda largeamount of opensky. If possible,go outside, away from tallbuildings and foliage. While performanceinabuildingisimprovedbymoving closerto windows,glass with certainsun shielding films may block satellite signals.
Extendyourphoneantenna.
Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna, which is in your phone antenna.Hold your phone away from your body, giving the antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with your fingers or anything else.

Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone isfinished determiningyour location.Moving your phone at a walking pace while your phone is calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS performance.
71
GPS Enabled
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in a car, position your phone so that the GPS antennahas good accessto GPS signalst hrough the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car when placedneara window.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speedof a moving car does not.
Stay in network coverage. Depending on who your serviceprovider is, the network will provide your phone with information that helpsdetermine your locationmore quickly and accurately.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Another way to keep the GPS featureof yourphone workingwellistokeepyoursatellitealmanacdata up to date.
The UnitedStates government maintainsan almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as they orbit the Earth. This information is available to your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to date helps your phone determine your location more quickly.
72
Thealmanaccontainsinformationaboutthe location of satellites, their operational status, and other satellite information.Keeping this information updated enhances the performance of your GPS feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with outdated almanac data,but it may take longer.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the instructions that appear on the phone’s display. You may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer care number.

Using GPS with Map Software

You can use the GPS feature of your phone to provide approximate location data to a laptop computer or similardevicethatis running interactive map software such as that madeby DeLorme or Microsoft. This way, if your phone has good access to GPSsignals, yourapproximatepositionon a map canbemadeavailableasyoutravelinavehicle.
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or other device) with a data cable and set your phone to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page 74). Your phone then provides your approximate location to the device runningthe map software,which displays your locationon a map. Your phone provides an updated location every second and the map software displays your changing location on its map.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page70 for more detailson obtaining good locationinformation.
Note: Because your phone is continuously
determining your location, using the GPS feature of your phone with map software uses the phone’s battery power quickly.
