Location Feature in Emergency Mode

When the Emergency feature is activated, the radio exits the Location menu and returns to the Home
screen for you to view the channel that triggers the emergency signal. You may re-enter the Location
menu while still in Emergency mode as long as Silent Emergency is not activated.
If you have disabled the Location feature on your radio, it automatically turns back on when Emergency
mode is activated.
If there is a solid location signal during Emergency operation, the current location and the location
information received is saved as Emergency and Last Known Location waypoints respectively.

Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional)

This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call and selective call.
Both the transmitting radio and receiving radio must be configured to enable them to send and receive
the GPS coordinates.
NOTICE: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode channel, only if its voice
transmission is through conventional ASTRO system then the radio can receive the location
coordinates of the peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel or Scan Talkback channel.
After receiving a voice transmission with GPS coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the display
shows the coordinates available in full or in short coordinates.
Full location coordinates
• PTT ID (optional)
• Longitude and latitude
• Relative distance or direction
Short location coordinates
• PTT ID (optional)
• Longitude and latitude
NOTICE:
If the transmitting radio is stale at the location after a period, the receiving radio display shows
the last known location. If the transmitting radio does not have GPS or the receiving radio could
not decode the GPS signal of the received signal, the receiving radio display shows the location
as unknown.
