personalize

monitor a user’s location. Users who prefer not to

permit such tracking and monitoring should avoid using

such applications.

Your phone uses the Automatic Location Information

(ALI) feature, along with AGPS satellite signals, to tell

the network where you are physically located.

Note: ALI may not work in all locations and may not be

available due to network, environmental, or

interference issues.

When ALI is set to Location > On (the mode your new

phone arrives in), services may use your known

location to provide useful information (for example,

driving directions, or the location of the nearest bank).

Your phone prompts you when the network or a service

asks for your location. You can refuse at this point.

When ALI is set to Location > Off, the phone does not

send location information unless you call the

emergency phone number (such as 911).

Open the main menu and touch

Settings > General and

slide Location Based Services to On or Off.

AGPS limitations & tips

Your phone uses Assisted Global Positioning

System (AGPS) satellite signals to estimate your

location. If your phone cannot find strong satellite

signals, your AGPS might be slower, less accurate, or it

might not work at all. AGPS provides only an

approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters)

but sometimes much farther from your actual location.

To improve AGPS accuracy:

Go outside and away from underground

locations, covered vehicles, structures with

metal or concrete roofs, tall buildings, and

foliage. Indoor performance might improve if

you move closer to windows, but some

window sun shielding films can block

satellite signals.
