Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My employer is going to add a location services application to my company issued cell phone which would allow them to track my location. I understand that the phone is their property and they may do with it as they wish. My issue is that I have to carry the company issued phone both on and off company time, essentially I have to have the phone with me 24/7. Since I do have to carry the phone at all times both on and off the clock in order to be available, is it legal for such an application to be added without me having the password to turn it off when I am off the clock.
