Location Settings
Your phone is equipped with a Location feature for use in

position. Turning Location off hides your location from
everyone except 911.
To enable your phone’s Location feature:
1. Press
O
> Settings/Tools > Settings > Location
.
(The Location disclaimer is displayed.)
2. Read the disclaimer and press

.
3. Select On or Off, and then press

.
When the Location feature is on, your phone’s display screen
displays the icon. When Location is turned off, the icon
is displayed.
Note:
Turning Location on allows the network to detect your
position using GPS technology, making some applications
and services easier to use. Turning Location off disables the
GPS location function for all purposes except 911, but does
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.
