Location Feature in Emergency Mode

When the Emergency feature is activated by pressing the emergency button, the radio exits the
Location menu and returns to the Home (default) screen 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 automatically turns back on when
Emergency is activated.
If there is a solid location signal during Emergency, 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 only)

This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in
conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-
location, the voice should be directly sent from one radio to another radio without passing through any
infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone, or DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and
receiving radio must be configured to enable them to send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You
can check with your nearest qualified technician for more details.
NOTICE: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode channel, and the voice
transmission is through the conventional ASTRO system then the radio can receive the location
coordinates of its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel or Scan Talkback channel.
Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the display
shows the coordinates available in full or in short coordinates. There are two different formats
available. Refer to the following list for the details shown in the Peer-Location quick text. Consult your
agent to pick the best format to configure to your radio.
Full location coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
• Relative distance or direction
Short location coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
NOTICE:
If the transmitting radio is stale at its location after a period of time, the receiving radio display
shows ID:<PTT ID> Last Knwn Loc: <Coordinates>. The ID:<PTT ID> and
<distance> are optional details depending on the requirements of usage.
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 ID:<PTT ID> Unknown Loc.
The PTT ID is optional to be shown on the display per requirements of usage.
