.	Q. What is GPS?
	A. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite positioning system. A
	constellation of satellites broadcasts signals around the world that can be used by GPS
	receivers to determine positions using triangulation. The signals are free and can be
	received anywhere on Earth where there is a clear view of the sky.
	Q. How accurate is the GPS receiver?
	A. GPS accuracy ranges from 20 meters to 100 meters. Most of the time, the GPS is
	accurate within 30 meters, which is about 32 yards.
	Q. What is an ideal GPS environment?
	A. The GPS receiver requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildings covered
	parking areas, tunnels, and dense foliage can hinder the GPS signals. Weather
	conditions do not impact the performance of GPS. If you are parked in a covered
	parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move away to have a
	clear view of the sky and then use PC*MILERMobile. The phone should be attached
	to the windshield in the holder for best performance.
	Q. Where is the GPS receiver?
	A. The GPS receiver is embedded in the i355 phone. The internal GPS antenna is
	near the top of the phone. For best performance, the device should be mounted high on
	the dashboard or on the windshield in a holder.
	Q. How do I know that the GPS has a signal?
	A. The PC*MILERMobile application on your GPS device will alert you if the GPS
	does not have a valid signal by displaying NO GPS on the screen. If this happens, and
	lasts more than a few seconds, drive to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so
	the GPS can receive the satellite signals. If GPS is not working, check the GPS privacy
	setting as described in your phone manual.
	Q. What if the phone cannot get a GPS location fix?
	A. The phone will not be able to get a GPS fix if it is indoors or under a bridge,
	tunnel, etc. If you are outdoors and you get an error message that GPS signals may be
	blocked, then you should turn off the phone and try starting again. You also may not be
	able to get a fix if the battery power is low. Please charge the battery or plug in the
	cigarette power cable and try again.
	Q. What are the various GPS privacy settings?
	A. There are three GPS settings on the Nextel phones. Privacy mode can be set to
	Restricted, Unrestricted, or By Permission. For the PC*MILERMobile application to
	work, the device must be set to Unrestricted. Possible settings are:
