Conventional Mode Features
5.13.12 Status Messaging
The status messaging feature allows you to manually or automatically send your current
status to your dispatcher on P25 channels. Up to 255 status conditions can be
preprogrammed, and they are identified by an alias. If the STATUS option switch is
programmed, status conditions are sent as follows:
1 Momentarily press the STATUS option switch, soft button (Lightning Control Head
only), or select the option via the menu. The alias of the current status condition is
displayed.
2 To change the current status, rotate the Select switch until the desired status is
displayed. Then to send the status, momentarily press the PTT switch. One of the
following events then occurs:
- If five beeps sound and "ACK RECVD" (Standard Control Head) or "Ack Received"
(Lightning Control Head) is displayed, the status was received and acknowledged by
the system.
- If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and "NO ACK"
(Standard Control Head) or "No Acknowledge" (Lightning Control Head) is
displayed.
Note
A smart console with message receiving capabilities must be used to receive status
messages.

See Section 8 for information on data functions and services.
5.14
Keypad Programming
Since keypad programming is permitted by Federal Government users only, only Federal
models of this radio can be programmed with this feature. It is then available only if it has
been enabled by factory programming and a conventional mode option switch is
programmed for the "Keypad Programming" function.
Note
The Keypad programming feature is available to Federal Government users only. Users
regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are not allowed to have this
feature. This feature must be factory enabled to be selected.
