Viking™ VP600 Portable Radio Operating Manual 4-17
Radio-wide Features
4.12.2 Sending GPS Data
If the radio is setup for operation with a GPS receiver, GPS data can be sent to a properly
configured repeater (digital conventional only).
GPS data can be sent manually, automatically, or on system request, depending upon the
options enabled.
4.12.2.1 Manually Sending GPS Data
If so configured, the radio will send GPS data (to a properly configured repeater) when the
assigned GPS button is pressed and held.
4.12.2.2 Automatically Sending GPS Data
If the radio’s GPS “Auto Transmit” option is enabled, the radio will automatically send
GPS data at predetermined intervals.
4.12.2.3 Sending GPS Data in Response to System Request
If so configured, the radio accepts P25 data requests for GPS data, and responds (over the
air) with the current GPS data.
4.13 Radio Service
If the radio is not responding to any button/key presses, the keypad may be locked. Refer
to Section 3.6, "Keypad Lock" for more information.
If “Unprogrammed” is displayed, the cause could be any of the following:
• An unprogrammed channel is selected. Select a programmed channel.
• The selected channel is programmed for an option that is not installed or an error in
programming was detected. Reprogram the radio.
If no characters appear in the display, the battery may be discharged or defective. Try
another battery. If some other problem is occurring, turn power off and then on again to
reset the control logic. Also make sure that the controls are properly set. If it still does not
operate correctly, return it for service.
