E911 Geolocation FAQs

Geolocation is the ability to determine your location by using the GPS feature in your mobile phone or your distance from cellphone towers, or Wi-Fi access points.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

With geolocation, your geographical location can be shared with E911 call center staff so that they can dispatch help to where you are currently located, instead of to your Registered Location on file.

This is especially helpful with mobile devices when you are away from your Registered Location (usually at your home or your office).

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

First, you need to upgrade to the latest version of P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile, for either iOS or Android.

Second, you must make sure to agree to the new end-user license agreement (EULA) in the upgraded P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile app. You must also give permission for P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile to use the device location (aka GPS location). If you’ve already given permission to use device location in the past (such as for Number Lookup), you won’t need to give this permission again.

You will see the new EULA and possibly the permission request for device location after you upgrade your P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile app and launch these apps.

Once the new EULA is accepted and the permission for device location is given, then your geolocation will be automatically used when you make an E911 relay call.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Our geolocation provider was not able to process your E911 address. Please contact Customer Support to resolve the issue.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Yes. In the text chat between you and the VI, you will see the latest approximate address based on converting your GPS coordinates to the best possible street address. Your GPS will be checked periodically while you are on the E911 call to see if your location changes; if that happens, a new approximate address will appear in the text chat.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

No, geolocation is only available on mobile devices*, including tablets with LTE connection or WiFi capabilities.

*mobile devices include iPhones and Android phones. Tablets include iPads and Samsung Tablet.

E911 Geolocation Spanish FAQs

La geolocalización es la capacidad de determinar su ubicación utilizando la función GPS de su teléfono móvil o su distancia a torres de telefonía móvil o puntos de acceso Wi-Fi.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Con la geolocalización, su ubicación geográfica puede ser compartida con el personal del centro de llamadas E911 para que puedan enviar ayuda al lugar donde se encuentra actualmente, en lugar de a su ubicación registrada en el archivo.

Esto es especialmente útil con dispositivos móviles cuando está lejos de su Ubicación Registrada (normalmente en su casa u oficina).

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

En primer lugar, debe actualizar a la última versión de P3 Mobile o Z5 Mobile, ya sea para iOS o Android.

En segundo lugar, debe asegurarse de aceptar el nuevo contrato de licencia de usuario final (CLUF) de la aplicación actualizada P3 Mobile o Z5 Mobile. También debe dar permiso para que P3 Móvil o Z5 Móvil utilicen la ubicación del dispositivo (también conocida como ubicación GPS). Si ya ha dado permiso para utilizar la ubicación del dispositivo en el pasado (por ejemplo, para la búsqueda de números), no necesitará dar este permiso de nuevo.

Verá el nuevo CLUF y posiblemente la solicitud de permiso para la localización del dispositivo después de actualizar su aplicación P3 Mobile o Z5 Mobile e iniciar estas aplicaciones.

Una vez aceptado el nuevo CLUF y concedido el permiso para la localización del dispositivo, su geolocalización se utilizará automáticamente cuando realice una llamada de retransmisión E911.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Nuestro proveedor de geolocalización no ha podido procesar su dirección E911. Póngase en contacto con el servicio de atención al cliente para resolver el problema.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Sí. En el chat de texto entre usted y el VI, verá la última dirección aproximada basada en la conversión de sus coordenadas GPS a la mejor dirección de calle posible. Su GPS se comprobará periódicamente mientras esté en la llamada al E911 para ver si su ubicación cambia; si eso ocurre, aparecerá una nueva dirección aproximada en el chat de texto.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

No. Por el momento, la geolocalización sólo está disponible para teléfonos móviles con GPS. Estamos considerando añadir en el futuro la geolocalización a otros dispositivos como portátiles, ordenadores de escritorio, OneVP y Portal.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

At this time, OneVP will work with POP to alert you when you have a call, not Firefly. It also would have an alert system coming through TV and wakes the TV up from sleep if CEC is set up. If this changes, we will communicate with you.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Yes, you can download the user guide here.

1. What kind of lamp does POP work with?

POP will work with any type of lamp. If the lamp has a dimmer, it will still work, but the dimmer needs to be set for maximum or else it will not work properly. We advise you to use a non-dimmer lamp and switch.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

POP can be screwed in any lamp socket that has not been revised or tampered with. You can screw it into a standing lamp, table lamp, desk lamp or even ceiling lights, but remember the switch needs to be remained on at all times.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

POP connects to the 2.4GHz band of Wi-Fi, not 5GHz. If you have more than one available network on your router, this could mean you are connected to 5GHz and need to try your other network. All Wi-Fi routers have a 2.4 GHz band, so if you only have one network you will be on the right one to get started.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Download the LIFX app on your Android / iOS mobile device or on your Windows 10 system
The LIFX app is only for setup purposes. It will not control your POP.

LIFX for Android

LIFX for iOS

LIFX for Windows 10

  • Follow the steps inside the app to register your LIFX app.
  • Screw the POP into a lamp socket (see FAQ #1 & FAQ #2 above) and turn it on.
  • Go to your device’s Wi-Fi Settings and connect to the Wi-Fi network named LIFX Color 1000 XXXX.
  • Go to the LIFX app and connect your POP to your default Wi-Fi network (SSID and password required)
  • Perform a test call to your Purple VP number to confirm successful setup.
    You will know it works when you see your chosen POP color flashing!

REMINDER: The LIFX app is only used for setting up your POP. The LIFX app will not control your POP.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"
  • You may want to check if your lamp has been turned off or unplugged. If they are, you simply can turn on the lamp and make a test call to confirm your POP works.
  • If your lamp is still on, please turn it off then back on and make a test call. If your POP still does not work, please go to Tip & Troubleshooting.
A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"
  • Did you try the steps in FAQ #5? If not, please go back and follow the instructions there.
    If you have tried all the steps in FAQ #5, please continue.
  • If your POP is showing red, this means it may be disconnected from the network. What do I do from here?The first step is to power cycle everything (turn on/off) your router to see if it’s running. If it’s not running, here are some possible causes:
    Some possible reasons include:
    – you may have moved the lamp with your POP too far from the Wi-Fi modem/router
    – your internet connection may have gone out
    – your Wi-Fi modem/router is not working or does not have power
A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

You should reset your POP only if your modem/router has been upgraded or your default Wi-Fi network’s ssid/password have changed. Starting with the POP turned on, turn it off/on five (5) times. Wait a few seconds (up to 10 seconds) until you see POP changing color from red to pink. Turn the POP off/on another five (5) times. You should see the POP flashing purple, yellow, green, red, blue and white, in that order. If the POP is not flashing immediately after doing the prior steps, turn the POP off/on another five (5) times. If the POP still is not flashing, that means it is still disconnected or may have another issue.

Don’t worry! ZP’s Customer Care team can be contacted at 877.885.3172 so we can help you get your POP working!

The following recommendations can help your POP light bulb/s achieve the best wireless range & network reception. The best locations for POP:

– Place your POP light bulb in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as large pieces of furniture or walls. Place it away from metallic surfaces.
– Avoid placing your POP light bulb behind furniture or inside cabinets.
– Don‘t place your POP light bulb in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or more sides.
– Place your POP light bulb at least 25 feet (8 meters) from any microwave oven, 2.4 gGHz cordless phone, or other source of interference.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

The following items can cause interference with wireless communication:


– Microwave ovens
– Direct satellite service (DSS) radio frequency leakage
– The original coaxial cable that may come with a satellite dish
– Electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations
– Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 GHz range

The farther away the interference source, the less likely it is to cause a problem.

We launched POP light in 2016 and since that time our customers have enjoyed the power of POP to notify them when they have incoming calls.

Many customers have requested to use POP light as a ‘normal’ room light. Until now that wasn’t possible.

But we want to let you know that with the recent update you can now use POP as a room light AND a notification light.

Right from your P3 or Z5 Mobile app or from the OneVp device you can choose your preferred room color and call notification color.

Color your world with POP.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

On your mobile app select the POP icon on the lower right side. POP lights that are registered to your account will show up here as pictures.

You can turn the normal light on and off by selecting the picture. To change the color of the ‘Normal Light’ select “Change normal light setting”.

On this screen you can change the color and the brightness of the light. To change the brightness you can move the slider that says ‘Brightness’.

To change the color you can simply select one of the 5 color squares.

If you do not like those colors, then tap on “edit’ in the upper right corner. You will see a little pencil icon appear on the 5 color squares. Tap the one you want to change. Now you will see a color wheel appear. Using your finger you can select any part of that color wheel. Make your selection and then tap on save. Your new color is now applied.

You can customize all 5 squares to save your favorite colors for easy access. When you are all done, click on ‘Done’ in the upper right corner. Then click on the ‘Save’ button to apply the color that you want.

You can also set the “Flashing Light” color for incoming calls. Tap on ‘change incoming call settings’ located on the second line. There are five standard colors available for you to choose from. Select the one you want. Then, choose your brightness level. Finally, you can test the flash notification to make sure you like it. Select “Test Flash Light”.

If you are satisfied with your settings then select “save”. You are all set.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

You can change the ‘Normal Light’ and ‘Incoming Call’ settings from your OneVP. Go to the ‘Settings’ menu in your OneVP. You can find ‘Settings’ on the far left column.

Next, scroll to the right until you get to the POP tab. You will see an icon for each POP Light registered to your account. You can click on each picture to turn that POP Light on or off. To adjust the settings for each POP Light click on ‘POP Light Settings’ at the bottom of each POP Light icon. The settings for that POP Light will appear. At the top you can give your POP Light a custom name.

Next you see ‘Normal Light’. There are five colors to choose from. This is your color selection for using your POP as a ‘normal’ light for your room. If you prefer a different color you can click on the ‘+’ on the right. You can select the color that you want and use the sliders to adjust. The first slider sets the color that you want and the other slider controls how vivid that color will be.

The next part is the ‘Incoming Call’ settings. This is for changing the light settings for when someone calls you. When you click on it you will see five color options appear for you to pick from. Make your selection.

Go ahead and select ‘Test Flash Light’ to see what it will look like. If you like it then click on ‘Save’ and you are all set.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

OneVP has a ‘quick menu’ that allows you to quickly access POP features.

In the upper right corner you can see where it says ‘POP’. Click on that and the menu will appear. You can click on the icons to turn your POP lights on and off.

If you want to quickly change the color of your POP, simply click where it says ‘settings’ under the icons. You will be taken right to the color settings for your POP light.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

When you access the settings for your POP light you may notice that the picture of the bulb looks different than your current POP light.

There is no need to be concerned. Your POP light may be an older model. Don’t worry, all of the functions and features remain the same.

1. Who will benefit from using CLOUDVP?

Everyone for use at home and work. Especially at work because they don’t have to worry about dealing with IT and software installation. CLOUDVP also works well with corporate firewalls.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

Maybe! It is dependent on the user allowing notifications within their browser settings, but if you use Chrome or Edge, you can answer the call from within the on-screen system notification and it will automatically maximize the window. For Firefox, an alert will show which the user can select to maximize the browser and then answer the call. Of course, if they have a P3 or Z5 app on their mobile device, they will get the notification like they always have.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

No, once the web browser running CLOUDVP is closed, not minimized, the connection will be disconnected. If you attempt to launch CLOUDVP while the call is ringing on another endpoint, you will not be able to answer the call on CLOUDVP like you’re able to do with the P3 Desktop for macOS or Windows.

E911 Geolocation FAQs

Geolocation is the ability to determine your location by using the GPS feature in your mobile phone or your distance from cellphone towers, or Wi-Fi access points.

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

With geolocation, your geographical location can be shared with E911 call center staff so that they can dispatch help to where you are currently located, instead of to your Registered Location on file.

This is especially helpful with mobile devices when you are away from your Registered Location (usually at your home or your office).

A black video player screen with the words "ZP Better Together, ZVRS & Purple Communications"

First, you need to upgrade to the latest version of P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile, for either iOS or Android.

Second, you must make sure to agree to the new end-user license agreement (EULA) in the upgraded P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile app. You must also give permission for P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile to use the device location (aka GPS location). If you’ve already given permission to use device location in the past (such as for Number Lookup), you won’t need to give this permission again.

You will see the new EULA and possibly the permission request for device location after you upgrade your P3 Mobile or Z5 Mobile app and launch these apps.

Once the new EULA is accepted and the permission for device location is given, then your geolocation will be automatically used when you make an E911 relay call.

Con la geolocalización, su ubicación geográfica puede ser compartida con el personal del centro de llamadas E911 para que puedan enviar ayuda al lugar donde se encuentra actualmente, en lugar de a su ubicación registrada en el archivo.

En primer lugar, debe actualizar a la última versión de P3 Mobile o Z5 Mobile, ya sea para iOS o Android.

En segundo lugar, debe asegurarse de aceptar el nuevo contrato de licencia de usuario final (CLUF) de la aplicación actualizada P3 Mobile o Z5 Mobile. También debe dar permiso para que P3 Móvil o Z5 Móvil utilicen la ubicación del dispositivo (también conocida como ubicación GPS). Si ya ha dado permiso para utilizar la ubicación del dispositivo en el pasado (por ejemplo, para la búsqueda de números), no necesitará dar este permiso de nuevo.

Verá el nuevo CLUF y posiblemente la solicitud de permiso para la localización del dispositivo después de actualizar su aplicación P3 Mobile o Z5 Mobile e iniciar estas aplicaciones.

Una vez aceptado el nuevo CLUF y concedido el permiso para la localización del dispositivo, su geolocalización se utilizará automáticamente cuando realice una llamada de retransmisión E911.
