Radio Inhibit

This feature allows the system administrator to put a radio into a non-functional state when the radio is
missing or in an unknown hand. The radio stays in this state regardless of its power changes.
NOTICE:
If the radio has Inter-system roaming capability, the system administrator is able to put the radio
into a non-functional state when the missing radio roams to another system.
The radio can only be uninhibited by receiving an uninhibited command from the system
administrator.

Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite System

NOTICE: This feature is addressed as GPS across the manual as the naming convention of the
buttons and strings remain the same as the legacy feature of GPS.
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 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.
If adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an
approximate location, usually within 10 meters from your actual location, but sometimes farther away.

GPS Performance Enhancement

Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then
see a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, take note of the following guidelines:
• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and the
open sky.
