defined in positioning settings. A
wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
cannot be used for this service. Only a
packet data internet access point can be
used. Your device asks you to select the
internet access point when GPS is used
for the first time.

When using the GPS receiver, ensure you

Establishing a GPS connection may take

Tips on creating a GPS connection
If your device cannot find the satellite
signal, consider the following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to
receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more
open space.
