The almanac contains information about the location
of satellites, their operational status, and other
satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your handset will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
handset may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the handset's display. You
may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer
care number.
Setting Privacy Options
Your handset's GPS privacy options control whether
Java applications on your handset or other software
applications may view the location of your
handset.You may set your handset to one of these
GPS privacy options.
Note: Privacy options do not apply to the
transmission of location information during
emergency 911 calls.
To set your GPS privacy options:
1 From the main menu, select GPS > Privacy.
2 If your GPS PIN security feature is enabled, enter
your GPS PIN. (See "Setting the GPS PIN Security
Feature" for more information.)
3 Select the privacy option you want:
• Restricted — No Java or similar software
applications may view the location of your
handset. However, location information may still
be available to the handset's owner, fleet
manager, or account administrator.
• Unrestricted — All applications may view the
location of your handset, without notifying you.
• By Permission — When an application
attempts to view the location of your handset,
you will be prompted to give permission.
However, location information may still be
available to the handset's owner, fleet manager,
or account administrator.
Setting the GPS PIN Security Feature
To prevent your GPS privacy settings from being
altered without your knowledge, your GPS privacy
option can be protected by a PIN.
When you receive your handset, the GPS security
feature is turned off, so you do not have to enter a
GPS PIN to access your GPS privacy options. If you
turn this feature on, you will be required to enter a
GPS PIN to access your GPS privacy options.
To turn the GPS Enabled security feature on or off:
1 From the main menu, select Settings > Security >
GPS PIN.
