6. Click OK to send the message. If you want to cancel the action, simply close the
dialogue by clicking on the icon.

Locating Alert type, see the chapter entitled Sending a Locating Alert Message on
page 34.
Please note: If no RFP visibility is given (see page 41), it is not possible to send a
message to the respective handset! In this case, you should update the location
information first (see page 38).

A confirmation dialogue opens.
3. Click Ye s to confirm the deletion. No cancels the process.
Message Receipt on the Handset
Messages can only be received (displayed) on message-capable handsets, such as
the Aastra 600 c/d. Aastra 142d or DECT GAP handsets do not support this feature.
Depending on the type, messages are signalled different on the recipient’s
handset (e.g. one attention tone for normal messages, two tones for messages of
high priority). The handset users can configure the message signalling individually
at their device.
The OM Locating application automatically generates a message text. This text
contains information on the last distress event which is currently not closed (call
number, location, call type (SOS, ManDown), assignee, date and time). The
operator who sends the message can edit or overwrite this text.
