Optional Features

69

GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses
information from Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your phone,
expressed as latitude and longitude. The
availability and accuracy of thislocation
information (and theamount of timethat it takes to
calculateit)will vary depending ontheenvironment
in which you are using the GPS feature. For
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtainindoors,in covered locations, between high
buildings,or in other situations whereyou have not
established a clear broad view of thesky. SEE:

“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”.

When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locateyou if yourphonehas adequate
accessto GPS satellite signals and your
emergency responsecenterisequippedtoprocess
such information.

You can also use the GPS f eature to viewyour
approximate location.Locationinformation
appearson the phone’s display.

70

If your phone is connectedto a laptopcomputer or
similar device, software running on that device can
requestyour location. To protect yourprivacy,you
can control whether these requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

If you are using the GPS feature of your phone
while driving, please give full attention to driving
and to theroad.

Whereadequatesignalsfrommultiplesatellites
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 radio or television tower

Making an Emergency Call

• When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the groun d

• In temperature extremes outside the
operating limits of your phone

Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.

Even where location information can be
calculated insuch situations, it may take much
longer to do so, and your location estimate may
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,
always reportthe 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 sometimes
much further from your actual location. Advice
on how to improve GPS performancei s
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on
page 73.

While the GPS feature of your phone canbe a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for carefulnavigating and good judgment.

Never rely solely on one device for navigation.

Rememberthat the accuracy ofthe location

information andthe time needed to obtain it will
vary dependingon circumstances, particularly the
ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.

On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
information fromthe phonenetwork to improve the
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location
calculation: if such assistance information
becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and
accuracyof the l ocation calculation.

The satellitesusedby theGPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
aresubject to changesimplementedinaccordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changesmay affect the performance of theGPS
feature of your phone.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency
responsecenter. Ifyou are onan active call, you
must end it before calling 911.

When you make an emergency 911call, the GPS
feature of your phone begins to seek information to
calculate your approximate location. It will take

the GPS feature of your phone some time to
determine your approximate location. Even

where your phone has good access to sufficient

71

GPS Enabled

GPS satellitesignalsand network assist data, it
may take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
thereis reduced access to satellite signals. When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergencyresponse
center.

In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to
receive GPS location information. For this

reason, and because the GPS location information
reported is only approximateor may notbe
available in yourlocation (see“IMPORTANT:
Thingsto Keep in Mind” on page 70), always
report your locationto the 911 operator you
speak to when making an emergency call, if able,
just asyou would when using a phone without GPS
capabilities.

Note: If you are concerned about whetheryour

local911 emergency response centeris
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 moreaccurately than if your
phone has access tosignalsfrom fewer GPS
satellites.

72

If your phone does not haveadequate access to
GPS satellitessignals, the locationof the nearest
cell tower in contact with your phone is
automatically made available to the emergency
responsecenter, if the center has the capability to
receive such information.

See“Enhancing GPS Performance” onpage 73 for
information on how to helpyour phone determine
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 location was calculated:

• Thetime (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date
that the location was last calculated

• The approximate location, expressed as latitude
and longitude

• Theestimated accuracyof the calculated
location. This estimate ofaccuracy is only a very
roughestimate and mayvary substantially from
the actual accuracy of the approximate location
informationreported.

Enhancing GPS Performance

• The number of satellites used to calculate the
location. In general, more satellites make for
better accuracy.

To calculate your location again:

Press A under Rfrsh.

It may takeyour phone several minutes to
complete the process of determining your location.
During this time, a messageusually appears on
your phone’s displaysaying your phone is
scanning forsatell ites. For tipson getting the best
locationcalculation,see “Enhancing GPS
Performance”.

The Position screen displays the 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 return to the idle screen.

Each time approximate location of your phone is
calculated, the latest location information is stored
in your phone andremainsthereeven when your
phone is powered off. Youwill see this information
thenexttimeyouviewthePosition screen.

If you received a phone call or alert while
attempting to determineyourlocation,thePosition
screenwill disappear, but your phonewill continue
attempting to determine its location. If it is
successful, the new location information will be
displayed the next timeyou view the Position
screen.

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation
successfully. If this happens when you are making
an emergency call, the location ofthe nearest cell
tower in contact with your phone is madeavailable
to the appropriate emergency response center if
the center has the capability to receive such
information. Ifthishappens when you aretryingto
view your location on thephone’sdisplay,you will
see a messageindicating that your phone cannot
accesssatellites.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while
your phone is determining your approximate
location:

73

GPS Enabled

• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
wherethere is nothing between your phone and
a large amount of open sky. If possible,go
outside, away from tall buildings and foliage.
While performance in a building is improved by
movingcloserto windows, glasswithcertain sun
shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
antenna, which is insidetheback of your phone,
opposite the earpiece, above the label with your
service provider’s name on it. Hold your phone
away from your body, giving the antenna clear
access to satellite signals. Do not cover the
antennaarea withyour fingersor anything else.

GPS antenna area

74

• Stand still.If possible, standstilluntil your phone

is finished determining your location. Moving
your phone at a walkingpace while your phone
is calculating your approximatelocation may
substantially decrease GPS performance.

• Ina car. When usingtheGPSEnabledfeaturein
a car, positionyour phone so that the GPS
antennahas good access to GPSsignals
through the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS
antenna has best access to GPS signals in acar
when placed near a window.

Note: Although moving your phone at a walking

pace decreases GPS performance,
movingit at the speed of a moving car
does not.

• Stay in networkcoverage. Depending on who
your service provider is, the network will provide
your phone with information that helps
determine your location more quickly and
accurately.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Anotherway to keep the GPS feature of your
phone workingwell is to keep your satellite
almanacdata up todate.

Setting Privacy Options

The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites areas
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.

The almanac containsinformat ion aboutthe
locationof satellites, t heir operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updatedenhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fixin strong satellitesignalconditions 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.
