Time-based settings let you use the given item for a specified interval.
Sharing Items Sharing Items You can gift a DRM item to a friend’s phone. Gifting is when you purchase a copy of a DRM item and send it to someone. If you do not want to gift an item, you can send a message to a friend’s phone that contains the link for purchasing the item. The friend can then purchase the item quickly and easily. Sending this type of message is called Tell-A-Friend. Gifting To check if a DRM item is giftable: 1 Go to the location on your phone that contains the item you want.
Digital Rights Management Viewing License Information You can check a DRM item’s license to view the following information: • For time-based items, either the date and time the item is scheduled to expire, or the number of days left • For count-based items, the number of credits (uses) left or an unlimited use notice • The name of the item’s vendor To view the license of a DRM item: 1 Go to the location on your phone that contains the item you want.

GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location information appears on the phone’s display. 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.
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.
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.
Enhancing GPS Performance • The estimated accuracy of the calculated location. This estimate of accuracy is only a very rough estimate and may vary substantially from the actual accuracy of the approximate location information reported. • The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy. To calculate your location again: Press A under Refresh. It may take your phone several minutes to complete the process of determining your location.
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: • 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.
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.
GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled Note: Privacy options do not apply to the transmission of location information during emergency 911 calls. To set your GPS privacy options: 1 From the main menu, select GPS > Privacy. 2 If your GPS PIN security feature is enabled, enter your GPS PIN. (See “Setting the GPS PIN Security Feature” for more information.) 3 Select the privacy option you want: • Restricted — No Java or similar software applications may view the location of your phone.
Using GPS with Map Software Using GPS with Map Software Software Compatibility 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.
GPS (Global Positioning System) Enabled 2 With the phone’s display facing up, insert the data cable’s connector into the accessory connector, until you hear a click. • Stop bits: 1 • Flow control: Hardware To set your phone to send location information to your laptop or other device: 1 From the main menu, select GPS > Interface. 2 Set NMEA OUT to On.

Safety and General Information IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE PORTABLE RADIO. RF Operational Characteristics Your radio product contains a radio frequency transmitter to convey the information you wish to send as well as occasional automatic signals used to sustain connection to the wireless network, and a receiver which enables you to receive communication and connection information from the network.
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: Phone Operation When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you would a wireline telephone. Speak directly into the microphone.
Portable Radio Product Operation and EME Exposure Antenna Care Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio product and may violate FCC regulations. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio product is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate at a higher power level than needed.
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.
Medical Devices Medical Devices Other Medical Devices Pacemakers If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio product and a pacemaker.
Safety and General Information Operational Warnings For Vehicles with an Air Bag ! Do not place a portable radio product in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio product may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Accessory Safety Information Cleaning and Drying Considerations Using a leather carry case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids (e.g., rain) from entering into the interior of the radio product. This product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit. If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the radio product and void the warranty.
Safety and General Information • To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull by the plug rather than the cord when you disconnect the battery charger from the power source outlet. • Do not operate any battery charger with a damaged cord or plug — replace them immediately. • Battery chargers may become warm during operation, but not hot. If it becomes hot to the touch, unplug it from the power outlet immediately and discontinue its use.
