Making a Status Call

1 Select a call address using one of the following
two methods:
i) Select a call address from memory: Select
your desired call address using the Rotary
encoder if a call address has been stored in
the transceiver memory.
ii) Enter a call address using the keypad: Enter
your desired call address using the DTMF
keypad (keys 0 ~ 9, , and #). Refer to the
appendix {page 20} for the available dial
strings and control codes.
2 Press the Status/ Stack key (default is the A
key), then rotate the Rotary encoder to select
your desired status.
• The status number appears on the 3-digit
sub-display.
3 Press the Call key (or PTT switch if "PTT to
Initiate Call" is programmed in the transceiver) to
send the status.
• "Calling" appears on the display.
4 When the status has been received by the called
party, "Complete" momentarily appears on the
display before returning to the call address of the
call you just made.
