Talkgroup at the same time.
Your Nextel Sales Representative or Nextel Customer Care must set up your
Talkgroups by providing you with a Talkgroup number for each Talkgroup.
After you have the number, you can assign each Talkgroup number a name and
store it in your phone (see“Storing a Talkgroup”on page 114).
Your phone can store up to 30 Talkgroups. You can only make calls to
Talkgroups in which you have been provisioned.

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. 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.SEE:
“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”on page 120.
When you make a 911 emergency call, the phone’s GPS feature 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.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location
information appears on your phone’s display screen.
Java applications loaded on your phone can also request your location. If your
phone is connected to a laptop computer or similar device, software running on
that device can request your location. To protect your privacy, you can control
whether these requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind
If you are using your phone’s GPS feature while driving, please give full
attentiontodrivingandtotheroad.
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
butarenotlimitedto:
In underground locations.
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles.
Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure.
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.
Temperature extremes outside the operating limits of the phone.
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 the
phone for as long as the emergency response center instructs you.
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 124.
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 the phone’s location calculation:
if such assistance information becomes unavailable, it may reduce the speed and
accuracy of the location calculation.
