Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes your phone’s GPS feature may be unable to complete a location

calculation successfully. If this happens when you are making an emergency

call, the location of the nearest cell tower in contact with your phone is made

available to the appropriate emergency response center if the center has the

capability to receive such information. If this happens when you are trying to

view your location on your phone’s screen, you will see a message indicating

that your phone cannot access satellites.

To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successful calculation, do

the following while your phone is determining your approximate location:

• Stay in the open. TheGPSfeatureworksbestwherethereisnothing

between your phone and a large amount of open sky. If possible, go

outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performance in a

building is improved by moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun

shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Hold the phone to enhance reception. Signals from GPS satellites are

transmitted to your GPS antenna, which is inside the back of your phone,

opposite the earpiece, behind the label with your service provider’sname

on it. Hold your phone away from your body, giving the antenna clear

access to satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with your fingers

or anything else.

• Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone is finished determining

your location. Moving the phone at a walking pace while the phone is

calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS

performance.
