Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
This phone features an embedded Global Positioning
System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E911
emergency location services where available.
When you place an emergency 911 call, your phone's
GPS feature seeks information to calculate your
approximate location. Depending on several variables,
including availability and access to satellite signals, it
may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and
then report your approximate location.
Important Always report your location to the 911
operator when placing an emergency call.
Some designated emergency call takers,
known as Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS
location information from your phone.
