Step 7
Use Portable Device to detect GPS (Global Positioning
System)
The MobileHelp system uses GPS (Global Positioning System) to
determine the location of your Portable Device.
If the yellow light on your Portable Device has illuminated,
the device’s location is known and no further action is
required; you have completed the final step in the set up
process.
If the yellow light on your Portable Device has not yet illuminated,
perform these following steps:
a. Remove the Portable Device from the recharging cradle on top
your Base Station.
b. With the Portable Device in-hand, exit your home and, as you
move toward an open area, check to see if the yellow light on
the Portable Device has illuminated. (Tall buildings, for
example, may hinder GPS detection.)
c. Continue moving about an open area until the yellow light
illuminates. While this process may take approximately 5-10
minutes, it only has to be performed once.
d. Place the Portable Device “face out” in the recharging cradle on
top your Base Station to ensure that Portable Device is fully
charged before use.
