Gps & Agps; Emergency Calls - Samsung M575 User Manual

GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based
applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the
U.S. Government that are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense policy and the 2008 Federal Radio navigation
Plan (FRP). Changes may affect the performance of
location-based technology on your mobile device.
Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which
obtains information from the cellular network to
improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your wireless
service provider's network and therefore airtime, data
charges, and/or additional charges may apply in
accordance with your service plan. Contact your
wireless service provider for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information that
can be used to determine the approximate location of
a mobile device. Mobile devices which are connected
to a wireless network transmit location-based
information. Additionally, if you use applications that
require location-based information (e.g. driving
directions), such applications transmit location-based
information. The location-based information may be
shared with third-parties, including your wireless
service provider, applications providers, Samsung,
and other third-parties providing services.

Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, the cellular
network may activate AGPS technology in your mobile
device to tell the emergency responders your
approximate location.
AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area.
Therefore:
Always tell the emergency responder your location to the
•
best of your ability; and
Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency
•
responder instructs you.
Navigation
Maps, directions, and other navigation data may
contain inaccurate or incomplete data, and
circumstances can and do change over time. In some
areas, complete information may not be available.
Therefore, you should always visually confirm that the
navigational instructions are consistent with what you
see before following them. All users should pay
attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all
other factors that may impact safe driving or walking.
Always obey posted road signs.

Emergency Calls

This mobile device, like any wireless mobile device,
operates using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks, as well as user-programmed functions,
which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions,
areas, or circumstances. Therefore, you should never
rely solely on any wireless mobile device for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for example).
Before traveling in remote or underdeveloped areas,
