DSC Settings

Manual Position Information

If you do not have a GPS device connected to your radio, you
can manually enter your position and time of entry. The position
data is transmitted with DSC calls. When you enter the position
and time manually, MANUAL POS appears on the screen.
Manually entered position information must be updated
regularly, and the radio displays two alerts to remind you to
update the position data.
• When the position data you entered manually is more than
four hours old, DATA IS OVER 4 HOURS OLD appears on
the screen. The radio continues to transmit this position data,
but you should update it before it becomes invalid.
• When the position data you entered manually is more than
23.5 hours old, it is considered invalid and DATA IS INVALID
appears on the screen. The radio does not transmit invalid
position data, and you should update it immediately.
