8.5.5.1 Voice w/Location 

The Voice w/Location feature allows the radio to report its location information when initiating a private call, a 

group call, or an emergency call.

, and then press the 

OK/Menu

 key to enable the feature.

If the transmitting radio is enabled with the Voice w/Location feature and the receiving radio is enabled with the 

Display Call Location feature, the receiving radio displays the location information of the transmitting radio during

8.5.5.3 GPS Report 

The GPS Report feature allows the radio to report its location information to the control center or trunking system. 

 

In conventional mode, you can report the GPS data to the control center by pressing the preprogrammed 

GPS 

Report

  key. Alternatively,  you  can consult  your dealer  to  configure  the  GPS  trigger,  allowing the  radio to 

automatically report the GPS data upon power-on/off, or according to the preset time or distance interval. 

 

In trunking mode, with the GPS Active Report feature enabled by your dealer, the radio automatically reports 

the GPS data when reaching the preset time or distance. If the radio is enabled with the GPS Report in Voice 

feature, the radio actively reports GPS data during a call. 

8.5.5.4 Quick GPS 

Based on GPS standard time, the Quick GPS feature divides the GPS upload time into several equal-length time 

slices. These time slices are allocated to radios with different configurations for periodic upload and single 

upload. Each radio uses the same GPS upload time length to upload GPS data, improving upload efficiency and 

reliability. 

If your dealer configures the feature to a digital channel, the channel only reports the quick GPS data. 

8.6 BT 

BT is a wireless technology that supports short-distance communications and data exchange between devices. You 

can connect the radio to a BT device through the built-in BT module.
