GPS Location Services

Your terminal’s GPS Location feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your terminal. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are using the terminal.

For example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in other situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.

SEE: IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind.

The GPS location Service can assist your Dispatcher or Colleagues in many ways such as more efficient deployment of resources or locating your terminal if you trigger your emergency service.

The terminal can be configured to display location information on the terminal’s display or to send it over the air to your dispatcher where it can be displayed in control center (Please check with your Service Provider on the configuration of your terminal).

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because your terminal cannot establish a view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS feature of your terminal WILL NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not limited to:

•In underground locations

•Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

•Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure

•Near a powerful radio or television tower
