Using the alphanumeric keys to enter text
108 Operating in trunked mode
Your radio may be programmed so that you can send
text messages. The three options for creating text
messages are selecting a preset text message,
editing a draft text message, or creating a new text
message.
To either edit or enter a text message, your
radio must have alphanumeric keys.
When the alphanumeric keys are used to enter a text
message, they have special functions.
■
Use the # key to select the type of text entry:
upper and lower case characters (ABC, abc), ini-
tial capitals (Abc), or numbers (123).
■
Use the left selection key (Clear) to delete a char-
acter from the display.
■
Use the scroll keys to move through a message.
Repeated presses of these keys will give you the
characters shown in the following table.
