It may take your handset several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your handset’s display saying your handset is scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS Performance”.

Each time approximate location of your handset is calculated, the latest location information is stored in your handset and remains there even when your handset is powered off. You will see this information the next time you view the Position screen.

If you received a phone call or alert while attempting to determine your location, the Position screen will disappear, but your handset will continue attempting to determine its location. If it is successful, the new location information will be displayed the next time you view the Position screen.

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your handset may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. If this happens when you are trying to view your location on the handset’s display, you will see a message indicating that your handset cannot access satellites.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successful calculation, do the following while your handset is determining your approximate location:

•Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your handset and a large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performance in a building is improved by moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun shielding films may block satellite signals.

•Extend your handset’s antenna.
