Location Feature in Emergency Mode

When the Emergency feature is activated, the radio exits the Location menu and returns to the Home screen.
You can view the channel that triggers the emergency signal.
You can reenter 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 respectively.

Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional)

This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call, and selective call.
The transmitting radio and receiving radio must be configured to enable the sending and receiving of the
Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates.
NOTE: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode channel and the voice transmission is from
the conventional ASTRO system, the radio can only receive the peer-location coordinates.
This feature is 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 available full location, or short location coordinates.
Full location coordinates
● PTT ID (optional)
● Longitude and latitude
● Relative distance or direction
Short location coordinates
● PTT ID (optional)
● Longitude and latitude
NOTE:
If the transmitting radio is stale at the location after a period of time, 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.
