your radio will not work. Such situations include but
are not limited to:
• Underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or
structure
• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover
• In temperature extremes outside the operating
limits of your radio
Even where location information can be calculated in
such situations, it may take longer to do so, and your
location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore,
in any emergency situation, always report your
location to your dispatcher.
Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location
information and the time it takes to obtain it varies
depending upon circumstances, particularly the ability
to receive signals from an adequate number of
satellites.
Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature only
provides an approximate location, usually within 20
meters from your actual location, but sometimes
farther away.
The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled
by the U.S. government and are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio
Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the
performance of the GPS feature on your radio.

fix, take note of the following guidelines:

position.
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your radio and a
large amount of open sky.
