Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature of your handset may be
unable to complete a location calculation
successfully. If this happens when you are trying to
view your location on the handset's display, you will
see a message indicating that your handset cannot
access satellites.
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a
successful calculation, do the following while your
handset is determining your approximate location:
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your handset and
a large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside,
away from tall buildings and foliage. While
performance in a building is improved by moving
closer to windows, glass with certain sun shielding
films may block satellite signals.
• Extend your handset's antenna.
