D Using the Repeater Search function

The transceiver searches for the nearest repeater by
using your own and repeater's position data entered in
the Repeater List.
Example: Select the "Hirano" repeater that is the top
search result.
1. Receiving your own position from the GPS re-
ceiver
When it is difficult to receive signals indoors, even if
you are near a window, try going outdoors for better
reception.
q Check whether or not the GPS receiver is receiving
your position and time.
The GPS icon blinks when searching for satellites.
➪ ➪
The GPS icon stops blinking when the minimum
number of needed satellites is found.
• It may take only a few seconds to calculate your position.
But depending on the environment, it may take a few min-
utes. If you have difficulties receiving, we recommend that
you try a different location.
• The icon does not appear when:
- "GPS Select" item is set to "Manual."
(GPS > GPS Set > GPS Select)
- "GPS Indicator" item is set to "OFF."
(GPS > GPS Set > GPS Indicator)
