You can also use the GPS feature to view your
approximate location. Location information
appears on the phone’s display.
GPS (Global Positioning
System) Enabled
Java applications loaded on your phone can also
request your location. If your phone is connected to
a laptop computer or similar device, software
To protect your privacy, you can control whether
these requests are granted.
Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses
information from Global Positioning System (GPS)
satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your phone,
expressed as latitude and longitude. The
availability and accuracy of this location
information (and the amount of time that it takes to
calculate it) will vary depending on the environment
in which you are using the GPS feature. For
example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to
obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high
buildings, or in other situations where you have not
established a clear broad view of the sky. Also,
nearby radio and electronic equipment may block
or interfere with reception from these distant
satellites. SEE: “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind”.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep
in Mind
If you are using the GPS feature of your phone
while driving, please give full attention to driving
and to the road.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are not available (usually because your GPS
antenna cannot establish a view of a wide area of
open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL
NOT WORK. Such situations include but are
not limited to:
When you make a 911 emergency call, the GPS
feature of your phone can help emergency
personnel locate you if your phone has adequate
access to GPS satellite signals and your
emergency response center is equipped to process
such information.
•
•
In underground locations
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
•
Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
120
Making an Emergency Call
•
Between tall buildings or under dense
tree-cover
Near a powerful radio or television tower
When your GPS antenna is covered (for
example, by your hand or other object) or
facing the ground
In temperature extremes outside the
operating limits of your phone
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a
valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the
need for careful navigating and good judgment.
Never rely solely on one device for navigation.
Remember that the accuracy of the location
information and the time needed to obtain it will
vary depending on circumstances, particularly the
ability to receive signals from adequate numbers of
satellites.
•
•
•
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance
information from the phone network to improve the
speed and accuracy of your phone’s location
calculation: if such assistance information
becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and
accuracy of the location calculation.
Walking or driving very slowly may also
substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where location information can be
calculated in such situations, it may take much
longer to do so, and your location estimate may
not be as accurate. Therefore, in any 911 call,
always report the location to the emergency
response center if you can and if you cannot,
remain on your phone for as long as the
emergency response center instructs you.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your
phone are controlled by the U.S. government and
are subject to changes implemented in accordance
with the Department of Defense GPS user policy
and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These
changes may affect the performance of the GPS
feature of your phone.
Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature will
only provide an approximate location, often
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes
much further from your actual location. Advice
on how to improve GPS performance is
provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on
page 123.
Making an Emergency Call
Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency
response center. If you are on an active call, you
must end it before calling 911.
121
GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled
When you make an emergency 911 call, the GPS
feature of your phone begins to seek information to
calculate your approximate location. It will take
the GPS feature of your phone some time to
determine your approximate location. Even
where your phone has good access to sufficient
GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it
may take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
there is reduced access to satellite signals. When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.
In general, if your phone has access to signals
from more GPS satellites, your location will be
determined faster and more accurately than if your
phone has access to signals from fewer GPS
satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to
GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest
cell tower in contact with your phone is
automatically made available to the emergency
response center, if the center has the capability to
receive such information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page
123 for information on how to help your phone
determine your location.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to
receive GPS location information. For this
reason, and because the GPS location information
reported is only approximate or may not be
available in your location (see “IMPORTANT:
Things to Keep in Mind” on page 120), always
report your location to the 911 operator you
speak to when making an emergency call, if able,
just as you would when using a phone without GPS
capabilities.

The number of satellites used to calculate the
location. In general, more satellites make for
better accuracy.
Each time approximate location of your phone is
in your phone and remains there even when your
phone is powered off. You will see this information
the next time you view the Position screen.
If you received a phone call or alert while
attempting to determine your location, the Position
screen will disappear, but your phone will continue
attempting to determine its location. If it is
successful, the new location information will be
displayed the next time you view the Position
screen.
To calculate your location again:
Press A under Refresh.
It may take your phone several minutes to
complete the process of determining your location.
During this time, a message usually appears on
your phone’s display saying your phone is
scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best
location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS
Performance” on page 123.
Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone 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 the phone’s display, you will
see a message indicating that your phone cannot
access satellites.
The Position screen displays the updated
information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is
completed:
Press A under Cancel to return to the Position
screen. -or-
Press e to return to the idle screen.
123
GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while
your phone is determining your approximate
location:
•
Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
antenna, which is in your phone antenna. 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.
•
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing 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.
GPS antenna
•
Extend your phone antenna.
124
Updating Satellite Almanac Data
•
•
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone
is finished determining your location. Moving
your phone at a walking pace while your phone
is calculating your approximate location may
substantially decrease GPS performance.
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, position your phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals
through the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS
antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car
when placed near a window.
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location
more quickly.
The almanac contains information about the
location of satellites, their operational status, and
other satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance,
moving it at the speed of a moving car
does not.
Note: When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
•
Stay in network coverage. Depending on who
your service provider is, the network will provide
your phone with information that helps
determine your location more quickly and
accurately.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display.
You may be asked to go to a web site or call a
customer care number.

Using GPS with Map Software
Software Compatibility
Using GPS with Map Software
Your phone sends location information to your
laptop or other device using the standard National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
Your phone supports output messages in
RMC, and VTG.
You can use the GPS feature of your phone to
provide approximate location data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running
interactive map software such as that made by
DeLorme or Microsoft. This way, if your phone has
good access to GPS signals, your approximate
position on a map can be made available as you
travel in a vehicle.
The map software running on your laptop or other
device must support NMEA 3.0.
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or
other device) with a data cable and set your phone
to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page
127). Your phone then provides your approximate
location to the device running the map software,
which displays your location on a map. Your phone
provides an updated location every second and the
map software displays your changing location on
its map.

Portable Radio Product
Operation and EME Exposure
Your Motorola radio product is designed to comply
with the following national and international
standards and guidelines regarding exposure of
human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy (EME):
163
Safety and General Information
To assure optimal radio product performance
and make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the above standards,
always adhere to the following procedures:
When using your radio product as a
traditional two-way radio, hold the
radio product in a vertical position
with the microphone one to two
inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the
lips.
Phone Operation
When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your
radio product as you would a wireline telephone.
Speak directly into the microphone.
Body-worn operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a radio product on your
body when transmitting, always place the radio
product in a Motorola approved clip, holder,
holster, case or body harness for this product.
Use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may
exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do
not use a Motorola approved body-worn
accessory and are not using the radio product
in the intended use positions along side the
head in the phone mode or in front of the face
in the two-way radio mode, then ensure the
antenna and the radio product are kept the
following minimum distances from the body
when transmitting
Two-way radio operation
Your radio product has been designed and tested
to comply with national and international standards
and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy, when operated in the
two-way mode (at the face, or at the abdomen
when using an audio accessory) at usage factors
of up to 50% talk/50% listen.
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50%
of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls,
release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the
time or less, is important because this radio
generates measurable RF energy only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).

operating positions reviewed by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio
product is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.05 W/kg and when tested on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.15 W/kg during packet
data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.)2
ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID AZ489FT5844 MEET THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
165
Safety and General Information
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
AZ489FT5844.
Electro Magnetic
Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is
susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
Facilities
1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio product in
any facility where posted notices instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

“M” Rating: Mobile phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are
likely to generate less interference to hearing devices
than phones that are not labeled. (M4 is the “better” or
higher of the two ratings.)
Hearing Aid
Compatibility
When some mobile phones are used with certain
hearing devices (including hearing aids andcochlear
implants), users may detect a noise which can
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.
Some hearing devices are more “immune” than others
to this interference noise, and mobile phones can also
vary in the amount of interference noise they may
generate at any given time. ANSI standard C63.19
was developed to provide a standardized means of
measuring both mobile phone and hearing devices to
determine usability rating categories for both.
"T" Rating: Mobile phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC
requirements for compatibility with telecoil-type ("T
Switch" or "Telephone Switch") hearing devices and
are likely to be more usable with such hearing devices
than unrated phones. (T4 is the "better" or higher of
the two ratings.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity
to interference noise from mobile phones. In some
cases, hearing devices can be modified or “hardened”
to improve operation with a mobile phone. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you improve the interaction of
your mobile phone and hearing device. Not all hearing
devices are rated for compatibility with mobile phones,
but hearing devices that are rated should have the
rating available. Be sure to evaluate your personal
needs by trying out this mobile phone with your
specific hearing device, using both antenna positions if
this mobile phone is equipped with a retractable
antenna.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to
assist hearing device users find phones that may be
compatible with their particular hearing device. Not all
mobile phones are rated for compatibility with hearing
devices, but mobile phones that are rated should have
the rating available. This rating may depend on the
position of a retractable antenna.
Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing
device and individual type and degree of hearing loss.
If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to
interference noise, even a mobile phone with a higher
rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the
hearing device. Evaluate your personal needs by
trying out the mobile phone with your hearing device.
