Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
Your phone features an embedded Global Positioning System
(GPS) chip necessary for utilizing E911 emergency location
services where available.
When you place an emergency 911 call, the GPS feature seeks
information to calculate your approximate location.
Note:
Depending on several variables, including availability and access to
satellite signals, it may take up to 30 seconds or more to determine
and report your approximate location.
Important!: Always report your location to the 911 operator
when placing an emergency call.
Some designated
emergency call takers, known as Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS location
information.
