Using the Tracking feature
The Tracking feature allows you to send text messages
or emails reporting the GPS coordinates of your current
location to one or more recipients or, alternatively,
to a tracking portal. The messages are automatically
generated by the handset, with updated coordinates,
at a default preset interval of 15 minutes. To send any
message, your handset must be registered to the network.
See Connecting to the satellite on page 13.
Configuring Tracking
Tracking status
• The Tracking feature has three states - Enabled,
Disabled and Always-on - that control access to the
sending of tracking messages. To configure the status,
go to the main menu and choose Location services >
Tracking > Configure tracking > Tracking status. Then
choose a state:
• Enabled: allows you to start and stop sending tracking
messages, either by navigating the menu or by using
the Tracking button [graphic] above the volume up/
down keys on the side of the handset
• Disabled: removes the ability to start or stop the
transmission of tracking messages
• Always-on: The handset continues to send messages
whenever it is connected to the network
•
Choosing the message recipients and
message type
Select Location services > Tracking > Configure
tracking > Edit recipient. You can choose a contact from
the phonebook or add a new contact. To find and edit
contacts or to add new contacts, see Managing contacts
in your phonebook on page 40. If you want to send
messages to more than one recipient, select each contact
from the phonebook separately (adding new contacts
if necessary). A maximum of ten recipients is permitted.
When you have chosen a recipient, press Select. The
message types available for that contact are displayed,
highlight Text message or Email message and press
Select. Note that a recipient’s email addresses cannot
exceed 40 characters.
