Sharp STX-2 manual 167

SAFETY

Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the actual location for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent of calls. SHARP FX’s ALI Capability.

The SHARP FX is an ALI-capable phone equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a satellite-based GPS ALI- capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.

The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless network: (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not always work indoors, for example) : and (c) handset signals reaching wireless “base stations“ (atmospheric and environmental conditions may cause variations in handset receiving signal strength).

Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system constraints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal is transmitted and over which SHARP FX has no control.

Finally, customers are advised that the SHARP FX’s ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.

This feature allows you to place an emergency call even if your phone is in “Phone Lock“ or “Restrict“ mode when you dial the preprogrammed emergency number, 911, #911, or *911. It also operates in out-of- service areas. The phone maintains the emergency mode until you press

the Power/END Key after disconnecting an emergency call. In emergency call mode, the phone can receive an incoming call from any available system.
