Some Java applications can make use of your
phone’s GPS feature to determine the approximate
geographical location of your phone. (See “GPS
(Global Positioning System) Enabled” on page 104
for more information on the GPS feature.)
However, for privacy reasons, you may not always
want Java applications to access the location of
your phone. Your phone protects your privacy by
giving you the option to block all or some Java
applications from accessing the location of your
phone.
Setting Privacy for All Java
Applications
These options control the privacy of all Java
applications on your phone:

Java® Applications
• Restricted — No Java or similar software
applications may access the location of your
phone. However, location information may still
be available to the phone’s owner, fleet
manager, or account administrator.
• Unrestricted — All Java applications may
access the location of your phone, without
notifying you.
• By Permission — When a Java application
attempts to access the location of your phone,
you are prompted to give permission. However,
location information may still be available to the
phone’s owner, fleet manager, or account
administrator.
See “Setting Privacy Options” on page 109 for
information on choosing these options.
Granting or Denying Permission
If you choose By Permission, you must grant or
deny each Java application access to the location
of your phone when the application requests
access for the first time. You may be required to
grant or deny subsequent requests from the same
application, depending on the privacy setting you
choose for the individual Java application (see
“Setting Privacy for Each Java Application” on
page 101).

Digital Rights
Management (DRM)
When you download multimedia content available
online, such as Java applications, these items may
be subject to DRM restrictions. DRM, or digital
rights management, is a system that defines how
copyrighted multimedia content can be distributed
and used.
DRM limits items to time-based or count-based
usage settings. Time-based settings let you use
the given item for a specified interval. Examples of
time-based settings include being able to use an
item for a specified number of days from the date
of purchase, a specified number of days from the
date that the item is first used, or a specified
number of minutes. Count-based settings let you
use an item for a specified number of times after
you download it or for unlimited use.
Managing Items
Note: Depending on how the third-party vendor
has set rights for the given DRM item, you
may be unable to perform some of the
following tasks.
102
Viewing License Information
You can check a DRM item’s license to view the
following information:
• For time-based items, either the date and time
the item is scheduled to expire, or the number of
days left
• For count-based items, the number of credits
(uses) left or an unlimited use notice
• The name of the item’s vendor
To view the license of a DRM item:
1 Go to the location on your phone that contains
the item you want.
2 Highlight the DRM item you want to view license
information for.
3 Press m.
4 Select License Info.
Renewing DRM Licenses
Note: You can only renew DRM licenses if the
license contains a link to the page where
you purchased the item.
1 Go to the location on your phone that contains
the item you want.
2 Highlight the DRM item you want to renew.

GPS (Global Positioning
System) 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 this location
information (and the amount of time that it takes to
calculate it) will vary depending on the environment
in which you are using the GPS feature. For
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high
buildings, or in other situations where you have not
established a clear broad view of the sky. Also,
nearby radio and electronic equipment may block
or interfere with reception from these distant
satellites. 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
access to GPS satellite signals and your
emergency response center is equipped to process
such information.
104
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information
appears 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 protect your privacy, 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 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
5
Making an Emergency Call
• Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
• Near a powerful radio or television tower
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) 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 location 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 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 107.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for careful navigating and good judgment.
Never rely solely on one device for navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location
information and the time needed to obtain it will
vary depending on circumstances, particularly the
ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
information from the phone network to improve the
speed and accuracy 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
phone are controlled by 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 your phone.
Making an Emergency Call
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency
response center. If you are on an active call, you
must end it before calling 911.
