The Global Positioning System (GPS)

This feature uses information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.

For example, GPS location fixes are very difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.

Understanding the GPS FeatureThe GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location co-ordinates, maximizing your view of clear unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance.

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to:

• In underground locations

• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

Using the Failsoft SystemThe failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.

The failsoft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone every nine seconds (radio unsquelched) until the trunking system returns to normal operation.

To continue, in Failsoft, to communicate with other talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.

Procedure:

1 Rotate the Mode Knob to change to a different repeaterfrequency.

2 Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button tolisten.

When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation.

Caring for Your Radio

The following are suggestions to assist you in troubleshooting possible operating problems.

The cables that connect to the rear of the radio could have live voltage on some of their pins. Do not remove or reconnect these cables. Only a qualified radio technician should perform this task. Service performed by unauthorized personnel may cause the radio to transmit an emergency alarm even if the unit is turned off.
