Configuring DSC Settings Manually Entering Position Information If you do not have a GPS device connected to your radio, manually enter your position and time of entry so that this information will be transmitted with DSC calls. When you enter the position and time manually, "MANUAL POS" is displayed on the screen. Your radio has two alarms to indicate that you need to update your position data: • When the position data you entered manually is over four hours old, the radio beeps and displays "DATA IS OVER 4 HOURS OLD" on the screen. • After 23.5 hours, manually-entered position data is considered invalid. The radio displays "DATA IS INVALID" on the screen. The radio will not transmit position data that is more than 23.5 hours old. See page 35 for more information on GPS alarms. When you manually enter your position with the time, the time remains fixed at the value you specify. The radio updates the time only if you connect a GPS device to the radio. To enter position information: 1. Press the MENU key. 2. Select SYSTEM > MANUAL GPS. 3. For each number in the sequence, turn the Channel knob clockwise to increase the number, and counterclockwise to decrease the number. When entering a direction character, rotate the channel knob to switch between N or S and E or W. VHF 100/200 Series Owner's Manual 27
