Position settings
To change settings related to positioning, select Menu →

position settings. For more information, contact your organisation.
GPS receiver
Select GPS receiver → GPS automatic to activate the GPS receiver
only when you open Positioning from the menu, send information
using NMEA interface, or receive a position request that is
answered. Select GPS always on to have the GPS receiver active all
the time. Using the GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.
Allow position info sending
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 Allow position info sending, and
one of the following:
• Yes — 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.
