GPS & AGPS

Certain Samsung mobile devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-based
applications. A GPS uses satellites controlled by the U.S.
Government that are subject to changes implemented in
accordance with the Department of Defense policy and
the 2008 Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes
may affect the performance of location-based technology
on your mobile device.

Certain Samsung mobile devices can also use an Assisted
Global Positioning System (AGPS), which obtains
information from the cellular network to improve GPS
performance. AGPS uses your wireless service provider's
network and therefore airtime, data charges, and/or
additional charges may apply in accordance with your
service plan. Contact your wireless service provider for
details.

Your Location

Location-based information includes information that can
be used to determine the approximate location of a mobile
device. Mobile devices which are connected to a wireless
network transmit location-based information. Additionally,
if you use applications that require location-based
information (e.g. driving directions), such applications
transmit location-based information. The location-based
information may be shared with third-parties, including
your wireless service provider, applications providers,
Samsung, and other third-parties providing services.

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.
