Location Settings – Domestic (U.S.) Only

Your BlackBerry® device is equipped with a Location feature for use in connection with location-based services that may be available.

Where services are available, the Location feature allows the network to detect your position. Turning Location off will hide your location from everyone except 911 (where compatible wireless coverage is available and the emergency response center is equipped to process such information).

Note:

Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS technology, making some Sprint applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off will disable the GPS location function for all purposes except 911, but will not hide your general location based on the cell site serving your call. No application or service may use your location without your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not available in all areas.

GPS Location services are not available when roaming internationally.

To enable your phone’s Location feature:

1.Click Options () > Advanced Options > GPS.

2.Select GPS Services, press , and click Change Option.

3.Click Location ON, press , and then click Save.

When the Location feature is on, the Home screen will display the icon. When Location is turned off, the icon will be displayed.

Note:

For more information about location-based services, such as the BlackBerry® Maps application, please click Help ( ) or go online to see your complete user guide.
