Motorola I530 manual GPS Enabled, Important Things to Keep in Mind

GPS Enabled

Your handset’s GPS Enabled feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your handset, 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”.

You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location information appears on the handset’s display.

If your handset is connected to a laptop computer or similar device, software running on that device can request your location. To protect your privacy, you can control whether these requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

If you are using the GPS feature of your handset 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 handset WILL

NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not limited to:

•In underground locations

•Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

•Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure

•Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover

•Near a powerful radio or television tower

•When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground

•In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your handset

I530 specifications

The Motorola i530 is an iconic device that represents the ruggedness and functionality that Motorola stood for during the early 2000s. Built for durability and practicality, the i530 was specifically designed for users in demanding environments, such as construction sites and outdoor activities, where the ability to withstand harsh conditions is crucial.

One of the key features of the Motorola i530 is its rugged design. The device is housed in a sturdy casing that meets military specifications for dust, shock, and moisture resistance. This means that the phone can easily endure rough handling and exposure to the elements, making it an excellent choice for professionals who require reliable communication in challenging situations. With its clamshell design, the i530 also features a protective outer shell that minimizes the risk of accidental damage.

In terms of technology, the i530 operates on the iDEN network, which combines both cellular and radio communications in one device. This unique capability allows users to make traditional phone calls while also having the option of pushing-to-talk (PTT) functionality, similar to a walkie-talkie. This feature is particularly beneficial for teams working in close proximity, enabling instant communication without the need for phone calls.

The Motorola i530 is equipped with a 1.5-inch monochrome display that, while small by today’s standards, was adequate for the limited tasks it was designed to perform. The interface is straightforward, prioritizing essential functions over flashy graphics. Users can easily navigate through menus and access features such as contact lists, messaging, and various tools.

Battery life is another highlight of the i530, known for its long-lasting performance which is critical for those who spend extended periods away from charging facilities. This durability is complemented by the device’s overall lightweight build, ensuring that it can be carried comfortably throughout the day.

Other notable characteristics of the Motorola i530 include customizable ringtones, an address book for storing contacts, and basic messaging capability. While it lacks some modern features such as a camera or advanced apps, its focus on functionality and resilience has earned it a dedicated user base. The Motorola i530 remains a testament to a time when communication devices prioritized toughness and reliability above all else.
