GPS Enabled
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information
from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites
orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate
geographical location of your phone, expressed as
latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy
of this location information (and the amount of time
that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on
the environment in which you are using the GPS
feature. For example, GPS location fixes are often
difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations,
between high buildings, or in other situations where
you have not established a clear broad view of the
sky. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind”.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind
If you are using the GPS feature of your phone while
driving, please give full attention to driving and to the
road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are not available (usually because your GPS
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL
NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not
limited to:
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate
access to GPS satellite signals and your emergency
response center is equipped to process such
information.
•
•
In underground locations
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information appears
on the phone’s display.
•
•
•
Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
Near a powerful radio or television tower
120
GPS Enabled
•
•
When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground
information and the time needed to obtain it will vary
depending on circumstances, particularly the ability
to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.
In temperature extremes outside the operating
limits of your phone
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
information from the phone network to improve the
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location
calculation: if such assistance information becomes
unavailable, it may reduce the speed and accuracy
of the location calculation.
Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where location information can be
calculated in such situations, it may take much
longer to do so, and your location estimate may
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,
always report the location to the emergency
response center if you can and if you cannot,
remain on your phone for as long as the
emergency response center instructs you.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
are subject to changes implemented in accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changes may affect the performance of the GPS
feature of your phone.
Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature will
only provide an approximate location, often
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much
further from your actual location. Advice on how
to improve GPS performance is provided in
“Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 123.
Making an Emergency Call
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response
center. If you are on an active call, you must end it
before calling 911.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for careful navigating and good judgment.
Never rely solely on one device for navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS
feature of your phone begins to seek information to
calculate your approximate location. It will take the
GPS feature of your phone some time to
determine your approximate location. Even
where your phone has good access to sufficient
121
Viewing Your Approximate Location
GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it may
take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
there is reduced access to satellite signals. When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.
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 123
for information on how to help your phone determine
your location.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to receive
GPS location information. For this 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 120), 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.

to determine its location. If it is successful, the new
location information will be displayed the next time
you view the Position screen.
To calculate your location again:
Press A under Refresh.
It may take your phone several minutes to complete
the process of determining your location. During this
time, a message usually appears on your phone’s
display saying your phone is scanning for satellites.
For tips on getting the best location calculation, see
“Enhancing GPS Performance”.
Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation
successfully. If this happens when you are making
an emergency call, the location of the nearest cell
tower in contact with your phone is made available
to the appropriate emergency response center if the
center has the capability to receive such
information. If this happens when you are trying to
view your location on the phone’s display, you will
see a message indicating that your phone cannot
access satellites.
The Position screen displays the updated
information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is
completed:
Press A under Cancel to return to the Position
screen. -or-
Press e to return to the idle screen.
Each time approximate location of your phone is
calculated, the latest location information is stored in
your phone and remains there even when your
phone is powered off. You will see this information
the next time you view the Position screen.
123
Enhancing GPS Performance
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while your
phone is determining your approximate location:
•
Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
antenna, which is in your phone antenna. Hold
your phone away from your body, giving the
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not
cover the antenna area with your fingers or
anything else.
•
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your phone and a
large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside,
away from tall buildings and foliage. While
performance in a building is improved by moving
closer to windows, glass with certain sun
shielding films may block satellite signals.
•
Extend your phone antenna.
GPS antenna
124
GPS Enabled
•
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone
is finished determining your location. Moving your
phone at a walking pace while your phone is
calculating your approximate location may
substantially decrease GPS performance.
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location more
quickly.
•
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, position your phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals through
the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna
has best access to GPS signals in a car when
placed near a window.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance, moving
it at the speed of a moving car does not.
The almanac contains information about the location
of satellites, their operational status, and other
satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
•
Stay in network coverage. Depending on who
your service provider is, the network will provide
your phone with information that helps determine
your location more quickly and accurately.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display. You
may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer
care number.
Updating Satellite Almanac

Another way to keep the GPS feature of your phone
working well is to keep your satellite almanac data
up to date.

Software Compatibility
Using GPS with Map Software
Your phone sends location information to your
laptop or other device using the standard National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
Your phone supports output messages in
NMEA-0183 format and supports the following
NMEA-0183 sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
RMC, and VTG.
You can use the GPS feature of your phone to
provide approximate location data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running interactive
map software such as that made by DeLorme or
Microsoft. This way, if your phone has good access
to GPS signals, your approximate position on a map
can be made available as you travel in a vehicle.
The map software running on your laptop or other
device must support NMEA 3.0.
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or
other device) with a data cable and set your phone
to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page 127).
Your phone then provides your approximate location
to the device running the map software, which
displays your location on a map. Your phone
provides an updated location every second and the
map software displays your changing location on its
map.
Getting Started
To connect your phone to your laptop or other
device:
1 Open the connector cover.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 123
for more details on obtaining good location
information.
Note: Because your phone is continuously
determining your location, using the GPS
feature of your phone with map software
uses the phone’s battery power quickly.

Safety and General Information
To assure optimal radio product performance and
make sure human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines
set forth in the above standards, always adhere
to the following procedures:

replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the
radio product and may violate FCC regulations.
When using your radio product as a
traditional two-way radio, hold the
radio product in a vertical position
with the microphone one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio product
is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the radio product to operate at a
higher power level than needed.

body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 0.93 W/kg and when tested on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 1.46 W/kg during packet data
transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)2
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
AZ489FT5833.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
1
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions reviewed by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the

!
3 Shake excess liquid from radio product.
4 Place the radio product and battery in an area that
is at room temperature and has good air flow.
5 Let the radio product, battery, and SIM card dry for
72 hours before reconnecting the battery and/or
powering on the radio product.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury, such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
To reduce the risk of injury, batteries should not be
exposed to fire, disassembled, or crushed.
If the radio product does not work after following the
steps listed above, contact your dealer for servicing
information.

Accessory Safety Information
Clean the external surfaces of the radio product with
a damp cloth, using a mild solution of dishwashing
detergent and water. Some household cleaners may
contain chemicals that could seriously damage the
radio product. Avoid the use of any petroleum-based
solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying liquids directly
on the radio product.
•
To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug,
pull by the plug rather than the cord when you
disconnect the battery charger from the power
source outlet.
•
•
Do not operate any battery charger with a
damaged cord or plug — replace them
immediately.
Battery chargers may become warm during
operation, but not hot. If it becomes hot to the
touch, unplug it from the power outlet immediately
and discontinue its use.
Accessory Safety Information
Important: Save these accessory safety instructions.
•
•
Before using any battery or battery charger, read
all the instructions for and cautionary markings on
(1) the battery, (2) the battery charger, which may
include a separate wall-mounted power supply or
transformer, and (3) the radio product using the
battery.
•
•
•
Use of a non-recommended attachment to a
battery charger may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
Make sure the battery charger power cord is
located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or subjected to damage or stress.
An extension cord should not be used with any
battery charger unless absolutely necessary. Use
of an improper extension cord could result in a risk
of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must
be used, make sure that:
Do not expose any battery charger to water, rain,
or snow as they are designed for indoor or
in-vehicle use only.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only the rechargeable batteries
!
described in “Battery” on page 4. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury and damage.
•
The pins on the plug of the extension cord are
the same number, size, and shape as those on
the plug of the charger.
•
The extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition.
168
Safety and General Information
•
The cord size is 18AWG for lengths up to 100
feet and 16AWG for lengths up to 150 feet.
•
•
Do not operate any battery charger if it has
received a sharp blow, has been dropped, or has
been damaged in any way; take it to a qualified
service technician.
Do not disassemble a battery charger; take it to a
qualified service technician when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
•
•
•
•
Maximum ambient temperature around the power
supply or transformer of any battery charger
should not exceed 40°C (104°F).
The output power from the power supply or
transformer must not exceed the rating given on
the Desktop Dual-Pocket Charger.
The disconnection from the line voltage is made by
unplugging the power supply from the AC
receptacle.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug any battery
charger from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
For optimum charging performance, turn off the radio
product while charging it in any battery charger.
