Enhanced 9-1-1 (E 9-1-1) Information
This phone features an embedded Global Positioning
System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E 9-1-1
emergency location services where available.
When you place an emergency 9-1-1 call, the GPS
feature of your phone 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 report your approximate location.
Important: Always report your location to the 9-1-1
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.
