Location Settings

Your device is equipped with a Location feature for use in connection with location-based services.

The Location feature allows the network to detect your position. Turning Location off will hide your location from everyone except 911.

Note: Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS technology, making some Sprint applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off will disable the GPS location function for all purposes except 911, but will not hide your general location based on the cell site serving your call. No application or service may use your location without your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not available in all areas.

To enable your device’s Location setting feature:

1.Press > and tap Settings > Location > Location setting.

2.Read the Location disclaimer and then tap ON.

3.Press .

When you turn the Location setting feature on, the device displays the icon on the status bar. When you turn Location setting off, the device displays the icon.

Messaging Settings

Your device’s advanced messaging capabilities let you send and receive many different kinds of text messages without placing a voice call. (For more information, see “Accessing Email Messages” on page 98.)

Messaging settings allow you to decide how you would like to be notified of new messages and create your own preset messages.

Setting Message Notification

When you receive a message, your device notifies you by displaying an icon on your display screen. You can also choose to vibrate the device and have the screen flash when you receive a message.
