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 yourphone,
expressed as latitude and longi tude. The
availabilityand accuracy of thislocation
information (and the amount of time that it takesto
calculateit)will varydependingon the environment
in which you are using the GPS feature. For
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtainindoors,in covered locations, betweenhigh
buildings,or in other situations whereyou have not
established a clear broad 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 locateyou if yourphone has adequate
accessto GPS satellite signals and your
emergency responsecenteris equippedto process
such information.

You can also usethe GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Locationinformation
appearson the phone’s display.

If your phone is connected to a laptop computer or
similar device, software running on that device can
requestyour location. To protect your privacy, you
can control whether these requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Thi ngs 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.

Whereadequatesignalsfrom 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 radio or television tower

81

GPS Enabled

• 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 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 reportthe location to theemergency
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 performanceis
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on
page 84.

While the GPS feature of yourphone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for careful navigating and goodjudgment.

Never rely solely on one device for navigation.

Remembert hat theaccuracy of the location

82

informat ion and the time needed to obtain it will
vary dependingon circumstances,particularlythe
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 suchassistance information
becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and
accuracyof the location calculation.

The satellitesused by the GPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
aresubject to changesimplementedin accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changesmay affectthe performance of t he GPS
feature of your phone.

Making an Emergency Call

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

When you make an emergency911 call, theGPS
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

Viewing Your Approximate Location

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, itis made
available to the appropriat e emergency response
center.

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

reason, and because the GPS location information
reported is onlyapproximate or may notbe
available in yourlocation (see “IMPORTANT:
Thingst o Keep in Mind” on page 81), 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 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 has access to signalsfrom fewer GPS
satellites.

If your phone does not have adequate access to
GPS satellitessignals, the location of 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” on page 84
for information on how to helpyour phone
determine your location.

Viewing Your Approximate
Location

1 From the mainmenu,select GPS > Position.
2 Scroll to viewthe entirescreen.

This displays the following information about the
last time your location was calculated:

• Thetime (asGreenwich Mean Time) and d ate
that the location was last calculated.

• The approximate location, expressed as latitude
and longitude.

• Theestimated accuracy of thecalculated
location. Thisestimateof accuracy is only a very
roughestimate and may vary substantially from
the actual accuracy of the approximate location
informationreported.

83

GPS Enabled

• 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 phoneseveral minutes to
complete the process of determining your location.
During this time, a messageusually appears on
your phone’s displaysaying your phone is
scanning forsatellites.For tips on getting the best
locationcalculation, see “Enhancing GPS
Performance”.

The Position screen displays the updated
information.

To cancel a location calculationbefore it is
completed:

Press A underCan cel 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.

84

If you received a phone call or alert while
attemptingt o determineyour location,the Position
screenwill disappear, but your phone will continue
attempting to determine its location. If it is
successful, the new location information will be
displayed t he nexttime you viewthe 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 of the 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. If this happens when you are trying to
view your location on thephone’sdisplay,you will
see a messageindicatingthat your phone cannot
accesssatellites.

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

Enhancing GPS Performance

• S tay in the open. The GPS feature works best
wherethere is nothing between your phone and
a large amount of open sky. Ifpossible, go
outside, away from tall buildings and foliage.
While performance in a building is improved by
movingcloserto windows, glass with certainsun
shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are 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 yourfingers or anything else.

GPS antenna area

• Stand still.If possible,standstill until your phone
is finished determining your location. Moving
your phone at a walkingpace while your phone
is calculating your approximatelocationmay
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 a car
when placed near a window.

Note: Although movingyour phone at a walking

pace decreases GPSperformance,
movingit at the speed ofa 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.

85

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Anotherway to keep the GPSfeatureof your
phone workingwell is tokeep your satellite
almanac dataup to date.

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.

The almanac containsinformation about the
location of satellites, their operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updatedenhances the performanceof your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fixin strong satellitesignal 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 satellitealmanacdata is out of date,your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display.
