About Emergency Callback Mode

When you end an emergency call, the BlackBerry® device enters Emergency Callback Mode. This mode enables the operator to call you back or determine your approximate location. Depending on your service provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for five minutes or is canceled when you make a non- emergency call.

In Emergency Callback Mode, you cannot send and receive messages or browse web pages.

Your device exits Emergency Callback Mode at any time if you make a non-emergency call.

Note:

To exit Emergency Callback Mode manually, click the trackwheel. Click Exit Emergency Callback Mode.

Acquire the GPS position of your device

Your BlackBerry® Global Positioning System (GPS) location is determined using information from GPS satellites, and it is expressed as a longitude and latitude. To acquire your BlackBerry satellite position, in the device options, click Location Based Services. Click the trackwheel. Click Refresh GPS.

Notes:

Contact your service provider for the availability of the GPS positioning service.

If you cannot acquire your BlackBerry satellite position by clicking Refresh GPS, try again when your BlackBerry device is exposed to a wide area of open sky.
