Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
This device 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 device seeks information to calculate
your approximate location. Depending on several
variables, including availability and access to satellite
signals, it may take up to 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 device.
