Hold Your Device Correctly - Nokia E52 User Manual

You must have an internet access point defined in the
device to retrieve assistance data from the Nokia A-GPS
service over a packet data connection. The access point for
A-GPS can be defined in positioning settings. A wireless
LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be used for this service.
Only a packet data internet access point can be used. Your
device asks you to select the internet access point when
GPS is used for the first time.

Hold your device correctly

The GPS receiver is located on the back of the device. When
using the receiver, make sure that you do not cover the
antenna with your hand.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a
couple of seconds to several minutes.
Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may
take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the
device battery. Using the GPS receiver may
drain the battery faster.
Tips on creating a GPS

If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each satellite
is shown in the satellite info
view. The longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite signal.
When your device has received
enough data from the satellite signal to calculate your
location, the bar colour changes.
To view the positions of found satellites, select
view.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least four
satellites to be able to calculate your location. When the
initial calculation has been made, it may be possible to
continue calculating your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when more
satellites are found.
If no satellite signal can be found, consider the following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna
of your device.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength
may be affected.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which
may block the satellite signals.
