Radio Inhibit
This feature allows the system administrator to put a radio into a nonfunctional state when the radio is
missing or in an unknown hand. The radio stays in this state regardless of its power changes.
NOTE:
If the radio has Intersystem roaming capability, the system administrator is able to put the radio
into a nonfunctional state when the missing radio roams to another system.
The radio can only be uninhibited by receiving an uninhibited command from the system
administrator.

Location
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in the radio integrates information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio.
NOTE: The Location feature is addressed as Global Positioning System (GPS) across the
manual as the naming convention of the buttons and strings remain the same as the legacy
feature of GPS.
The availability and accuracy of this location information and the calculation duration can vary
depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature. For example, GPS location
fixes are 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.
If adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an
approximate location, usually within 10 meters from your actual location, but sometimes farther away.
Sometimes, the GPS feature cannot complete a location calculation successfully. You will then see a
message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, take note of the following guidelines:
• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.
• Stay in the open as the GPS feature works best when there is nothing between your radio and the
open sky.

Outdoor Location Feature
This feature allows you to determine your current location using a location menu, and your current
distance and bearing in relation to another location. Your radio location can be requested and reported
over-the-air.
Your radio stores up to a maximum of 60 programmable location coordinates, also known as
waypoints. When the memory is full, the next waypoint automatically replaces the oldest waypoints
in the radio.
The radio also stores four programmed waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted.
The following table shows the differences between programmable waypoints and programmed
waypoints.
