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.

For expired items that continue to display in their respective lists, you can either choose to renew the license for the item or else manually delete the item. Note: You cannot delete locked items.
GPS Enabled 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.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind • Some radios, entertainment equipment and other electronic devices may generate signals that can block or interfere with the GPS receiver ability to receive the distant satellite signals, particularly when such devices are operating in close proximity to the GPS receiver. Therefore, in a 911 call, or when otherwise using the GPS location function, always move your phone away from any such devices.
GPS Enabled 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. 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.
Viewing Your Approximate Location See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 180 for information on how to help your phone determine your location. Viewing Your Approximate Location 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 180.
GPS Enabled 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.
Updating Satellite Almanac Data • Move away from electronic devices. Radios, entertainment devices, and other electronic devices may generate interfering signals that may prevent GPS receiver operation if they are in close proximity to the phone. Move your phone away from such devices when using the GPS-Enabled feature. • Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone is finished determining your location.
GPS Enabled 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.
