Gps & Agps - Samsung Dart SGH-T499 User Manual

If your mobile device has a touch-screen
display, please note that a touch-screen
responds best to a light touch from the pad of
your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using
excessive force or a metallic object when
pressing on the touch-screen may damage
the tempered glass surface and void the
warranty. For more information, please refer
to the "Standard Limited Warranty".
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,
including data relating to your current location, 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,
