5.15 RADIO MESSAGE

The message feature is used to send a message to the site without making a voice call. There
can be up to ten (10) messages programmed into the radio. For each message defined, there is
an ID and an alphanumeric name. The ID is sent to the site and the alphanumeric name appears
on the radio display when the ID corresponds with the information programmed at the site.
NOTE
To send a radio message:
1. Press the Menu button.
2. Navigate to the MESSAGES menu.
3. Highlight RADIO MESSAGE and press the Group/Channel Select Knob.
4. Scroll up or down to highlight the desired message and press the Group/Channel Select Knob.

5.16 RADIO TEXTLINK

Radio TextLink provides short text messaging functionality for radios. Due to the difficulty of
entering text messages on a radio, predefined "canned" messages and predefined replies can be
stored in the radio. To facilitate sending messages where information must be provided at send
time, text message forms can also be stored in the radio. A form can contain up to four (4) text
prompts, for which the operator enters alphanumeric values before sending the message.
