Location and Emergency Feature Interaction
When the Emergency feature is activated by pressing the emergency
button, the radio will exit the Location menu and return to the home
(default) display so that you can see which channel the emergency
signal is going out on. However, you may re-enter the Location menu
while still in emergency mode, provided that Silent Emergency has
not been activated.
If you have turned Location off using the ON/OFF menu key, it will be
automatically turned back on when Emergency is activated.
GPS Enabled
Your RSM's GPS Enabled feature uses information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine
the approximate geographical location of your RSM, expressed as
latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location
information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will
vary depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS
feature.
For example, GPS location fixes are very 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.
IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind
The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites,
to establish the location co-ordinates, maximizing your view of clear
unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance. Where
adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually
because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky), the
GPS feature of your RSM will not work. Such situations include but
are not limited to:
•
In 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.
