Understanding the GPS Feature 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 temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your RSM 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. Furthermore, please note that even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an approximate location, often within 20-100 meters from your actual location, but sometimes much further from the actual location. Advanced Features Your RSMâs 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) varies depending on the environment in which you are using 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 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 RSM. ⢠In underground locations ⢠Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles 69 English 6875945M01-A_Full.book Page 70 Tuesday, July 8, 2008 12:54 AM Enhancing GPS Performance Sometimes, the GPS feature of your RSM may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then see a message indicating that your RSM cannot see enough visible satellites. To maximize the ability of your RSM to determine a fix, please note the following guidelines: The radio also stores four (4) preprogrammed waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted.

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. 70 English ⢠Emergency ⢠Last Known Location ⢠Stay in the open.

Never poke these vents with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create leak paths into the radio and the radioâs submergibility will be lost. ⢠(For XTS 5000 R Radios Only) The XTS 5000 R radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum submersion time of 4 hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio. ⢠(For XTS 5000 R Radios Only) Elastomer technology materials used for seals in rugged portable radios can age with time and environmental exposure.

Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, will last fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, will last even longer. Charging the Battery Battery life is determined by several factors.
