The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature. • In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your radio Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher. 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. Note: Understanding the GPS Feature Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location information and the time it takes to obtain it varies depending upon circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from an adequate number of satellites. The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location coordinates, 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 radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to: • In underground locations • Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles 80 English Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an approximate location, usually within 20 meters from your actual location, but sometimes further away. The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled by the U.S. government and are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature on your radio. Enhancing GPS Performance To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please note the following guidelines: Programmable Waypoints Preprogrammed Waypoints Fixed location coordinates: • Home User-configurable location coordinates. • Emergency • For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position. • Last Known Location • Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is • Destination nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky. The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS) This feature allows you to determine your current location using a location menu, as well as your current distance and bearing in relation to another location. Radio location may be requested and reported over-the-air. Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces the oldest waypoints in the radio. Only the alias is editable, not the coordinates. The Home and Destination coordinates are editable. Coordinates can be deleted one at a time, or all at once. Coordinates cannot be deleted. Note: Advanced Features Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then see a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites. The radio also stores four (4) preprogrammed waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted. The radio automatically exits the feature, if the feature inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle and the timer expires. You will hear the Menu Inactive Exit Tone upon feature exit. 81 English Accessing the Outdoor Location Feature Note: An ON menu key may be present on the location menu if it is preprogrammed by the dealer or system administrator.

Motorola details the disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary test equipment needed to inspect, maintain and troubleshoot radio seals in the radio’s service manual. • If the radio battery contact area has been submerged in water, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the radio. Helpful Tips • If the radio has been submerged in water, shake 104 English the radio well so that any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the audio quality of the radio. • Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician. Cleaning Your Radio To clean the external surfaces of your radio: 1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. 3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease. Caution Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio housing. Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution. Handling Your Radio • Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. Never carry the radio by the antenna. • Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not submerge the radio unless it is a ruggedized, APX 7000 R model. • Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents or spirits. Taking Care of the Battery • Do not disassemble the radio. use the connector. Replace the cover immediately once the accessory has been disconnected.
