The Location Reports can be sent both in TMO and DMO by using:
• SDS messages
• Packet Data (in TMO mode only, with Packet Data enabled on the network by the service provider)
The radio can be configured to give audio-visual notifications upon sending the Location Reports.

Enhance GNSS Performance

Sometimes the GNSS feature is unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You hear an
audible tone indicating that your radio cannot see the satellites.
This feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a location fix, avoid closed space, tall buildings, and
foliage. If possible, do not use this feature in underground parking lots, tunnels, under bridges, and
close to high buildings.
5.6.2

Location Report Backlog

Your radio can record location track when it is out of service, when in DMO, or when in TXI mode.
The location reports generated during this time are stored, and all location report backlog recordings
are uploaded once your radio is back in service. Your radio can save up to a maximum of 180 location
reports. The location report backlog function differently when in different mode:
Location Backlog Recording in Trunked Mode Operation (TMO)
Your radio starts recording location reports when radio is out of service in TMO Mode.
Your radio resumes the latest location reporting when TMO coverage is regained.
Location Backlog Recording in Direct Mode Operation (DMO)
Your radio starts recording location reports in DMO Mode.
Your radio resumes the latest location reporting when it switches back to TMO mode.
NOTE: This feature is only available when enabled by your service provider.
Location Backlog Recording in Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI)
When your radio is in TXI mode, location reports are generated and recorded but not sent out.
Once your radio exits TXI mode and is within TMO coverage, the location reports are uploaded to
the server.

GNSS Icon

When GNSS is enabled, the following icon is displayed in the status icon area:
Depending on the current GNSS state, the icon can be solid – GNSS has a fix, or blinking – GNSS is
searching for a fix. The blinking GNSS icon can be disabled/enabled by your service provider.
