Location Settings

Your phone is equipped with a Location feature for use in connection with location-based services.

The Location feature allows the network to detect your position. Turning Location off will hide your location from everyone except 911.

Note

Turning Location on will allow the network to detect

 

your position using GPS technology, making some

 

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.

 

 

To enable your phone’s Location feature:

1.While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Settings > More... > Location. (The Location disclaimer will be displayed.)

2.Read the disclaimer and press OK (left softkey).

3.Select On or Off and press .

When the Location feature is on, your phone’s standby screen will display the icon. When Location is turned off, the icon will be displayed on the main display screen.

Messaging Settings

Staying connected to your friends and family has never been easier. With your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities, you can send and receive many different kinds of text messages without placing a voice call. (For more information, see “Accessing Messaging” on page 142.)

Messaging settings make text messaging easier by letting you decide how you would like to be notified of new messages, create a signature with each sent message, and create your own preset messages.
