GPS receiver
The GPS receiver is located in the bottom of the
device. When using the receiver, slide the numeric
keypad open, and from an upright position, move
the device to an angle of about 45 degrees, with an
unobstructed view of the sky. Do not cover the
numeric keypad with your hand.
Establishing a GPS
connection may take

seconds to several
minutes. Establishing
a GPS connection in
the car may take

The GPS receiver
draws its power from the device battery. Using the
GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.

● Ensure that
your hand does
not cover the
GPS antenna of
your device.
