Iridium SHOUT nano User Manual page 16

The nano can store up to 600 canned messages. Figure on the previous page
displays examples of a few canned messages entered using SatTerm. Each
message is shown on a single line. Some canned messages are too long and can
only be partially displayed on the LCD screen. User can navigate by pressing the
up and down arrow
show the entire message on the Details screen.
When a canned message is selected from the list, for example ‗Out of gas!!!
Please send' as shown in the figure below, the Details screen will appear to show
the complete message. User has the option to pick a canned message by pressing
the enter
list of canned messages. If the enter button is pressed, the Message menu will re-
appear with the selected canned message displayed in the text box. Scroll Up and
Scroll Dn soft keys are used to view part of the canned message that does not fit
inside the text box. Remove Canned Msg deletes the message from the text box
at anytime even after free-text is entered.
Enter Text option lets user create free-text messages with three on-screen
keyboards. Each free-text message is allowed to have up to 309 characters
because the Iridium 9602 limits outbound messages to 340 characters. These 309
characters are shared between a free-text message and any additional e-mail
addresses attached to it (including the semi-colon or space used as e-mail
address separator). Long e-mail addresses or multiple e-mail addresses will
reduce the number of characters available for the free-text message (see detailed
description in the next section). If a canned message is previously selected and
appears in the text box then the entered free-text will be appended to the canned
message.
