Missed Call-Out Reminder Phase
A Call-Out is cleared without any user input. The radio will display the missed Call-Out with the
following options:
• Messages, or
• Exit.
NOTICE: You can choose to dismiss the reminder phase instead of reading the missed Call-
Out message.
You are able to respond to a Call-Out by using a pre-coded message selected from a list of predefined
replies.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Service
NOTICE: This feature is a selling feature.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) Location Service feature uses information from GPS satellites
orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio.
The GPS Location Service availability, accuracy, and the position calculation time vary depending on
the environment in which you use the radio. The GPS Location Service can assist your dispatcher or
colleagues in many ways such as more efficient deployment of resources or locating your radio when
you trigger your emergency service.
The radio can display the location information directly on the screen or send it over the air to your
dispatcher to display it in the control center. Check your radio configuration details with your service
provider.
IMPORTANT:
Where the signals from satellites are not available, the GPS Location Service does not work.
This situation usually happens when your radio cannot establish a view of a wide area of open
sky, for example, when the GPS antenna is covered or facing the ground. Such situations
include being:
• In underground locations
• Inside buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure
• Near a powerful radio or television tower
• In extreme temperature outside the operating limits of your radio
Even if your location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so.
Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher. Where adequate
signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS Location Service feature provides a location,
most probably near to your actual location.
The radio can be triggered to send Location Reports in various circumstances, for example:
• Upon a request
• Entering Emergency Mode
• At specified time intervals
• At specified distance intervals
The Location Reports can be sent both in TMO and DMO by using:
• SDS messages
• Packet Data (in TMO mode only, with Packet Data enabled on the network by the service provider)
