Making An Emergency Call - Motorola i205 - Cell Phone - iDEN User Manual

GPS Enabled
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 62.
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.
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS
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 GPS
satellite signals and network assist data, it may take
30 seconds or more to determine the approximate
location. This time will increase where there is
