Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) Information

This phone features an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E9-1-1
emergency location services where available.

When you place an emergency 9-1-1 call, the GPS feature of your phone seeks information to calculate

signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine and report your approximate location.

equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.
