Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
This phone features GPS (Global Positioning System), which is used for E911 emergency
location service, where available.
When you place a call to 911, the GPS feature of your phone provides information about 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 phone.
