Enhanced 911 (E911) Information

This phone 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 phone 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 phone.
