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 begins to
seek 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.
