A-GPS for E911
Your terminal supports an A-GPS feature to meet a FCC 911 mandate, which makes the location of
the terminal available to 911 operators in the case of emergency situations. During the emergency call,
all the LEDs on the terminal will blink and your location can then be determined by the 911 operator. In
order to increase the location accuracy, the external GPS antenna must be connected to the terminal
and positioned at a location that can receive satellite signals, such as outside the home or building or
near a window without obstructions to the sky.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The accuracy of the A-GPS location will significantly degrade if the A-GPS antenna is not
connected to properly or located indoor or at a place with obstruction to the sky. In such
cases, the emergency dispatcher will not be able to accurately locate your position. The A-
GPS signal and location accuracy can be dependent on many factors and cannot be
guaranteed.
1. Connect the A-GPS antenna to the SMA
connector on the terminal.
2. Place the Magnetic Pad at a location that
has no obstruction to the sky, such as
outdoors or near a window.
3. Put the A-GPS antenna on the magnetic pad
and position the antenna to face outside.
