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.

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 63), 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.

Note: If you are concerned about whether your local 911 emergency response center is equipped to receive GPS location information, contact your local authorities.

In general, if your phone has access to signals from more GPS satellites, your location will be determined faster and more accurately than if your phone has access to signals from fewer GPS satellites.

Viewing Your Approximate Location

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 66 for information on how to help your phone determine your location.

Viewing Your Approximate Location

1From the main menu, select GPS > Position.

2Scroll to view the entire screen.

This displays the following information about the last time your location was calculated:

•The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that the location was last calculated

•The approximate location, expressed as latitude and longitude

•The estimated accuracy of the calculated location. This estimate of accuracy is only a very rough estimate and may vary substantially from the actual accuracy of the approximate location information reported.

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.
