WARNING This data is only stored temporarily and will be lost when the
radio is switched off. Since the accuracy of this information is
vital in the event of a Distress Alert transmission being neces-
sary, we strongly recommend that a GPS or other navigational
device is permanently interfaced with the radio. This data will
then be automatically supplied and updated without the need
for user intervention.
