Enhanced 9-1-1 (E 9-1-1) Information
This phone features an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E 9-
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 your approximate location. Depending on
several variables, including availability and access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or
more to determine and report your approximate location.
Important

Always report your location to the 9-1-1 operator when placing an emergency
call.
Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs)
may not be equipped to receive GPS location information from your phone.
