GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPSEnabled feature usesinformation from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographicallocationof your phone, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this locationinformation (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environmentin which you are using the 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 notestablisheda clear broad view ofthe sky.SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”
on page 61.
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature of your phone can help emergency personnel locate you ifyour phone has adequate accessto GPSsatellitesignals and your emergency response center is equipped to process such information.
You can also use the GPSfeatureto view your approximate location.Location informationappears on the phone’s display.
If your phone is connected to a laptop computer or similar device, software running on that device can request your location. To protect your privacy, you can control whether these requestsare granted.

IMPORTANT: T hings to Keep in Mind

Ifyou are using the GPS featureof yourphonewhile driving, please give full attention to driving and to the road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available(usuallybecause your GPS
antennacannot establish aview ofa 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
61
Page 70
GPS E nabled
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground
• Intemperatureextremesoutsidethe operating 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 911 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 sometimes much further from your actual location. Advice on how to improve GPS performance is provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 64.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a valuable navigational aid, itdoes not replace the need for careful navigatingand good judgment.
Never rely solely on onedevicefor navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location
62
informationandthetimeneededtoobtainitwillvary depending on circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of satellites.
On emergencycalls,your phoneuses assistance informationfromthe phone network to improve the speed and accuracy of yourphone’s location calculation:if such assistanceinformation becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy of the location calculation.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your phoneare controlledby the U.S. government and 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 yourphone.

Making an Emergency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response center.Ifyouareonanactivecall,youmustendit before calling 911.
Whenyoumakeanemergency911call,theGPS feature of yourphone 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 goodaccess to sufficient

Viewing Your Approximate Location

GPSsatellite signalsandnetworkassist data,it may take 30 seconds or more to determine the approximate location.T his time will increasewhere thereis reducedaccessto satellite signals.When your approximate location is determined, it is made available to the appropriate emergency response center.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency response center may not be equipped to receive GPS location information. For this reason, and
becausethe GPS location information reported is only approximate or may not be available in your location(see “IMPORTANT:Thingsto K eep in Mind” on page 61), always report your location to the 911 operator you speak to whenmakingan emergency call, if able, just as you would when using a phone without GPS capabilities.
Note: If youare concerned about whether your
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 moreaccurately than if your phone has access to signals from fewer GPS satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to GPS satellitessignals, the locationof the nearest celltowerin contactwithyourphoneis automatically madeavailableto the emergency responsecenter,if the center has the capability to receive such information.
See “EnhancingGPS Performance” on page64 for information on h ow to help your phone determine your location.
Viewing Your Approximate Location

To calculate your location again:
Press A under Rfrsh.
It may take your phoneseveralminutes to complete theprocessof determiningyourlocation. During this time,a message usually appears on yourphone’s display saying your phone is scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 64.
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 approximatelocation of yourphone is calculated, the latest location information is stored in your phone and remains there even when your phoneis powered off. You will seethis information the next time you view the Position screen.

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 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 viewyour location on the phone’s display, you will see a message indicating that your phone cannot accesssatellites.
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successful calculation, do thefollowing while your phoneis determiningyour approximate location:
Page 73

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
wherethereis nothingbetween your phone and a largeamountof open sky.If possible, go outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performanceinabuildingisimprovedbymoving closerto windows, glass with certainsun shielding films may block satellite signals.
Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellitesare transmitted to your GPS antenna, which is inside the back 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 with your fingers or anythingelse.
GPS antenna area
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone isfinished determining your location.Moving your phone at a walking pace while your phone is calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS performance.
In acar. When using the GPS Enabled feature in a car, positionyour phone so that the GPS antenna has good access to GPS signals through the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna has best access to GPSsignalsin a car when placed near a window.
Note: Althoughmoving your phone ata walking
pacedecreasesGPSperformance,moving it at the speed of a moving car does not.
Stay in network coverage. 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 tokeep the GPS featureof your phone working well is tokeep your satellite almanac data up to date.
65
Page 74
GPS E nabled
The United States government maintains an 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.
Thealmanaccontains informationaboutthe location of satellites, their operationalstatus,and other satellite information. Keeping this information updatedenhances the performance o f yourGPS feature. In mostcases, your phone will be able to get a fixin strong satellite signal conditionswith outdated almanac data, but itmay take longer.
Note: Whenyoumakeanemergencycall,your
phone does not rely upon the almanacto determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the instructionsthat appearon the phone’sdisplay. You maybeaskedtogotoawebsiteorcallacustomer care number.
