Your Phone’s Settings
Location Settings
Your phone is equipped with a Location feature for use in
connection with location-based services.
The Location feature allows the network to detect your
position. Turning Location off will hide your location from
everyone except 911.
To enable your phone’s Location feature:
1. Press > Settings > Location. (The Location
disclaimer is displayed.)
2. Read the disclaimer and press OK (left softkey).
3. Select On or Off.
When the Location feature is on, your phone’s standby
screen will display the icon. When Location is turned off,
the icon will be displayed.
Note:
Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your
position using GPS technology, making some Sprint
applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off
will disable the GPS location function for all purposes
except 911, but will not hide your general location based on
the cell site serving your call. No application or service may
use your location without your request or permission.
GPS-enhanced 911 is not available in all areas.
