reason, and because the GPS location information reported is
only approximate or may not be available in your location
(see “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 144),
always report your location to the 911 operator you speak to
when making an emergency call, if able, just as you would
when using a phone without GPS capabilities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals from more GPS
satellites, your location will be determined faster and more
accurately than if your phone has access to signals from
fewer GPS satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to GPS satellites
signals, the location of the nearest cell tower in contact with
your phone is automatically made available to the emergency
response center, if the center has the capability to receive
such information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 149 for
information on how to help your phone determine your
location.
