The radio may receive requests for position information or for network
information. In network-based positioning the approximate position of the
radio can be calculated according to the location of base stations without
using the GPS satellites. Position information sending is only possible in the
network mode and when transmission barring is not activated.
Note that this feature and its accuracy are dependent on the network, satellite
systems (when GPS is used), and the organisation receiving the information.
This feature may not function in all areas or at all times.
To set how the radio responds to position requests or sends position
information automatically, select
, and one of the
following:
•
—
The radio attempts to send position information when a predefined
value is reached, such as a time period or distance, or whenever position
requests are received from numbers authorised by your organisation. The
radio sends the position information in the background without notifying
the user.
•
—
The radio does not send position information even if position
requests are received.
•
—
The radio attempts to send position information only
when position requests from authorised numbers are received during a
call to an emergency number programmed into your radio, or during a
red
key call
or a silent
red key call
to a network mode destination. If the GPS
receiver does not get the needed information from the satellites to
determine the current coordinates before the call ends, the coordinates
that were last calculated by the receiver are sent instead.
Note that position information from the GPS receiver may be sent to the
network during these calls if it has been predefined by your organisation,
regardless of which setting is selected.
