Use of AGPS in Emergency Calls

When you make an emergency call, the cellular network may
activate AGPS technology in your mobile device to tell the
emergency responders your approximate location.

AGPS has limitations and might not work in your area. Therefore:

Always tell the emergency responder your location to the best of your

ability; and

Remain on the mobile device for as long as the emergency responder

instructs you.

Navigation

Maps, directions, and other navigation data may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data, and circumstances can and do
change over time. In some areas, complete information may not
be available. Therefore, you should always visually confirm that
the navigational instructions are consistent with what you see
before following them. All users should pay attention to road
conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact
safe driving or walking. Always obey posted road signs
.

to make or receive any calls, the mobile device must be switched
on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless mobile
device networks or when certain network services and/or mobile
device features are in use. Check with local service providers.
