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
67
GPS Enabled
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground
• Intemperatureextremesoutsidetheoperating
limits of your phone
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 tothe 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.
Viewing Your Approximate
Location
1 From the main menu, select GPS > Position.
2 Scroll to view the entire screen.
This displays the following information about the last
time your locationwas calculated:
• The time (as GreenwichMean Time) and date
that the location was last calculated.
• The approximate location, expressed as latitude
and longitude.
• The estimated accuracy of the calculated
location.Thisestimateofaccuracyisonlyavery
rough estimate and may vary substantially from
the actualaccuracy of the approximate location
information reported.

GPS Enabled
• The number of satellites used to calculate the
location. In general,moresatellites make for
better accuracy.
To calculate your location again:
Press A under Rfrsh.
It may take your phoneseveral minutes tocomplete
theprocess of determiningyourlocation.During this
time,a message usually appearson your phone’s
display saying your phone is scanning for satellites.
For tips on getting the best location calculation, see
“Enhancing GPS Performance”.
The Positionscreen displaysthe updated
information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is
completed:
Press A under Cancel to return to the Position
screen. -or-
Press e to returnto the idle screen.
Each time approximate location of your phone is
calculated, the latest location information is stored in
your phone and remains there even when your
phoneis powered off. You will see thisinformation
the next time you view the Position screen.
70
Ifyour eceived a phonecallor alert whileattempting
to determine your location, the Position screen will
disappear, but your phone will continue attempting
to determine its location. If it is successful, the new
location information will be displayed the next time
you view the Position screen.
Enhanci ng GPS Perfor mance
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.
Setting Privacy Options
Yourphone’s GPS privacy optionscontrol whether
Javaapplications on your phoneor other software
applicationsmayview the location of your
phone.You may set your phone to one of these GPS
privacy options.
Note: Privacyoptions do not apply to the

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.
