Displaying GPS in metric or imperial measures
Select Menu > GPS position. The Valid GPS fix
screen appears. Select Options > Set unit and make
your selection. The default setting is metric units.
Sending your GPS location
Select Menu > GPS position and select Options > Send
GPS location. The elapsed time since the last GPS fix
was obtained is displayed and you are presented with
two options. Select Send to use the stored value or
New to acquire a new GPS fix. Press the red key
cancel. Make your decision on the basis of any significant
distance travelled since the stored GPS fix was obtained.
Note that requesting a new fix will temporarily delay the
sending of your location.
When the GPS fix to be used has been acquired, select
Text message or Email message. Only editing of the
recipient field is permitted. Enter the destination number
or email address directly into the To: field, or choose
Options > Add recipient to select an existing entry from
Contacts. You are presented with the list of Phonebook
contacts. Use the left and right navigation keys to select
SIM contacts or Groups.
Obtaining a GPS fix manually
On rare occasions, your phone may continue to show the
GPS fix required icon, which means that a new GPS fix is
needed in order for your phone to connect to the network.
If this occurs, select Menu > GPS position. The new GPS
fix is displayed. When this screen is open, your phone will
attempt to refresh the GPS fix every 30 seconds.
National GPS policies
Some national GPS policies do not allow users to access
their GPS information in particular locations. Your phone
continues to access the GPS satellites as usual, so its
performance is unaffected. However, your phone will not
display its GPS location. For more information, please
contact your service provider.
GPS Data
Inmarsat will collect, store and process GPS data in
to accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Personal alert
The personal alert feature enables a user to send
their GPS position, along with a short pre-configured
message, as an email or text message, to a maximum
of 10 recipients.
Pre-configuration, use of a stored GPS fix and a short-
dial code enable the personal alert to be sent quickly
whilst maximising reliability. This is achieved by restricting
the alert to one 160 character message, and mailing
to each recipient separately. Each message sent is
charged separately.
Note: Generally, email message routing is more reliable
than text messages.
