The core of the manual focuses on TETRA-specific calling modes:

| Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | Frequency Range | 380-430 MHz; 806-870 MHz (Regional variants) | | Power Output | Adjustable: 1W to 10W (High power mode) | | Channel Capacity | 1024 talk groups / 4000 contacts | | Display | 2.4-inch OLED, sunlight-readable | | GPS | Integrated 72-channel, TTFF (cold start) < 1 minute | | Audio | 4W external speaker output, 2W internal | | Operating Voltage | 10.8V – 15.6V DC (standard vehicle range) |


The MT680 R4.0 supports multiple GPS trigger modes:

To check your GPS status: Press the programmed GPS key or navigate Menu > GPS > Satellite Info. Wait for a 3D fix (latitude/longitude shown).

From typical R4.0 content, the MT680 features:
