Advanced FeaturesEnglish69Global Positioning System (GPS) EnabledYour RSM’s 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.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.Understanding the GPS FeatureThe 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 underground locations•Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles•Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure•Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover•In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your RSMEven 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.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.6875945M01-A_Full.book Page 69 Tuesday, July 8, 2008 12:54 AM
Advanced FeaturesEnglish70Enhancing GPS PerformanceSometimes, 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:•Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your RSM and a large amount of open sky.•Wear your RSM outside all clothing. Keep it as high on your body as possible, ideally at shoulder level.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.This feature is only available when a location enabled accessory such as the GPS Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM) is attached to the radio.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.The radio also stores four (4) preprogrammed waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted.Note: The radio automatically exits the feature, if the time-out timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle and time is up. You will hear the Menu Inactive Exit Tone upon feature exit.Programmable Waypoints Preprogrammed WaypointsUser-configurable location coordinates.Fixed location coordinates:•Home•Emergency•Last Known Location•DestinationOnly 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.6875945M01-A_Full.book Page 70 Tuesday, July 8, 2008 12:54 AM

Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.3Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.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, XTS 5000 R model.•Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents or spirits.•Do not disassemble the radio.•Keep the accessory-connector cover in place until ready to use the connector. Replace the cover immediately once the accessory has been disconnected.•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.•If the radio has been submerged in water, shake 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.

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 BatteryBattery life is determined by several factors.
