By Permission

— When an application attempts to

view the location of your phone, you will be
prompted to give permission. However, location
information may still be available to the phone’s
owner, fleet manager, or account administrator.

Java Applications & GPS Security

Some Java applications can make use of your phone’s
GPS feature to determine the approximate
geographical location of your phone. (See “GPS
Enabled” on page 113 f
or more information on the GPS
feature.) However, for privacy reasons, you may not
always want Java applications to access the location of
your phone. Your phone protects your privacy by giving
you the option to block all or some Java applications
from accessing the location of your phone.

Setting Privacy for All Java Applications

See “GPS Privacy Options” on page 86 for instructions
on setting the privacy options for your java applications.

Tip:

The default GPS PIN is 0000.
