30 Section 2A: Your Phone: The Basics
Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
This phone features an embedded Global Positioning System
(GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E911 emergency location
services where available.
When you place an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature of
your phone begins to seek information to calculate your
approximate location. Depending on several variables,
including availability and access to satellite signals, it may
take 30 seconds or more to determine and report your
approximate location.
IMPORTANT: Always report your location to the 911 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.
