GPS Enable d

Your phone’s GPS En abled fea ture uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your phone, expres sed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calcul ate it) will va ry de pendin g on the enviro nment in which you are using the GPS feature. For example , GPS location fixes are often difficult t o obtain indoors, in covered locations, betwee n high buildi ngs, or in ot he r si tu ati on s w here you have not establ ished a clear broad view of the sky. SEE:
“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”.
When you m ake a 911 emergency cal l, the GPS feature of your phone can help emergency personnel locat e you if your phone has adequate access to GPS satellite signals and your emergenc y res ponse center is eq uipp ed to pr oces s such information.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location information appears on the phone’s display.
If your phone is connected to a laptop computer or similar de vi ce, so ftw a re runn in g on that de vi ce can request your location. To protect your privacy, you can control wheth er 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 drivin g and to the road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not av ailable (usually because your GPS
antenn a 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
82

Making an Emergency Call

• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other obje ct) or facing the ground
• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your phone
Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where locat ion information can be calculated in such situations, it may take much longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call, always report the location to the eme rgency 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 GP S 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 84.
While the GPS feature of your phone can b e a valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the need for careful navigating and good judgment. Never rely solely on one device fo r navigation. Remember that the accuracy of the location
information an d the time n eeded to ob tain it will vary depending on c ircumstances, particularly the ability to r ecei ve si gn al s fr om ad equa te nu mber s o f satellites.
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance information from the phone network to i m prove the speed and accuracy of your phone’s location calculation: if such assistance informati on becomes un avai la bl e, it m ay r educe t he spee d a nd accuracy of the location calculation.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your phone are controlled by th e U.S. government and are subj ec t to c han ge s imp leme nt ed in acc or dan ce with the Departme nt of D efense GPS us er policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These changes may affect the perfor mance of th e G PS feature of your phone.
Making an Emergency Call
Dial 911 to be connect ed to an eme rgency response center. If you are on an active call, you must en d it be f ore cal ling 911.
When yo u make an emer g e nc y 911 call, the GP S featur e of your p ho ne be gi ns to se ek inf o rm ati on to calcul ate your approximate location. It will take
the GPS feature of your phone some time to determine your approximate location. Even
where yo ur phone has good access to sufficient
83
GPS Enabled
GPS satellite sign als and network assist data, it may take 30 seconds or more to determine the approxi mate lo cati on. Thi s time wil l incre ase wher e there is reduced access to satellite signals. When your approximate location is determined, it is made available to the appropriate emerge ncy respon se 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 approxim ate or may not be available in your location (see “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 81), always report your location to the 911 operator you speak to wh en making an emergency call, if able, just as you would when using a phone without GPS capabilities.
Note: If yo u ar e con ce r ne d ab ou t whether you r
local 911 emergency response center is 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 ha s access to signals from fewer GPS satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest cell tower in conta c t wi th your phon e is automatically made available to the emer gency response center, if the center has the capability to receive such information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 84 for information on how to help your phone determine your location.

Viewin g Your Approx i mat e Location

1 From the main menu, select GPS > Position. 2 Scroll to view the entire screen.
This disp la ys the follo w in g inf orm a tio n ab ou t the last time your location was calculated:
The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that the location was last calculated.

Enhancing GPS Perfo rma nc e

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 take your phone several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your phone’s display saying y our phone is scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing G PS Performance”.
The Position screen displays th e 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, th e latest location information is stored in your phone and remains there even when your phone is powered off. You will see thi s information the next time you view the Position screen.
If you received a phone call or alert while attempting 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.
Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be unable to complete a locatio n calculat ion successfully. If t his happen s 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 center has 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 messa ge indica ting that your phone cannot access satellites.
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successful calculation, do the following while your phone is dete rmining yo ur approximate location:
85
GPS Enabled
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where the re is nothing between yo ur ph on e and a large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performa nc e in a bu ild in g is imp r ov ed by moving clo ser to w ind ow s , gl ass wi th c ert a in su n shielding films may block satellite signals.
Hold your ph on e t o en ha nc e r ec ep ti o n . Signals from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS anten na, which is inside the back of your phone, opposite the earpiece, above the label with your servic e provider’s nam e on it. Hol d yo ur ph on e away from your body, giving the antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with your fingers or anything else.
GPS antenna area
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone is finished determining your location. Moving your phone at a walking pace while your phone is calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS performance.
In a c ar. Whe n u si ng t he G PS Enab l ed f eatu r e i n a car, positio n yo ur ph on e so that the GPS antenna has good a c cess to GPS signals through the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car when placed near a window.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed of a moving car does not.
Stay in network covera ge . De pe nd ing 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

Updating Satellite Almanac Data
Another way to keep the GPS fe ature of your phone working well is to keep your satellite almana c data up to date.
The Unit ed States government maintains an almana c of da ta abo ut w her e GP S sat el l ites ar e a s they orbit t he Earth. This information i s available to your phone. Keeping your satellite al manac up to date helps your phone determine your location more quickly.
The almanac contains information about the location of satellites, their operational status, and other sa te ll ite in f orma ti o n. Ke ep i ng th is in fo rmat i on update d 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 do es not r el y up on the alm anac to determine your location.
If your satellite almanac dat a is out of date, your phone ma y 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 custo m er ca re number .

Setting Privacy Options

Your phone’s GPS privacy options control whether software ap pl ic atio ns may vi ew t he lo cati on of you r phone.You may set your phone to one of these GPS privacy options:
• Restricted — No softwa re applic ations may view the location of your phone. However, location information may still be available to the phone’s owner, fleet manager, or account administrator.
• Unrestricted — All applications may view the locat ion of your phone, without notifying you.
• By Permi s si on — When an application attempts to view the location of your phone, you will be prompted to give permission. However, location information may still be available to the phone’s owner, fleet manager, or account administrator.
