5-28 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
Conventional Features
To view the message, press the assigned text message function button. The sender’s Unit
ID (or alias, if programmed) will be displayed for approximately one second. Following
this, the text of the message is shown.
Note Mobile radios display only capital letters, numbers, and the following symbols: period,
question mark, apostrophe, forward slash, and backslash. Incoming message text is
parsed to meet this requirement (i.e., lower case letters are capitalized, and any character
not meeting the requirement is replaced by space).
If the message is 10 characters or less in length, the text will remain stationary on the
display.
If the message is longer than 10 characters, the text will scroll across the display.
• To pause scrolling, press the Select knob.
• If desired, adjust the message position by turning the Select knob.
• To resume scrolling, press the Select knob again
Note The message displayed is the message most recently received. To view messages received
earlier, refer to paragraph 5.15.3.
5.15.3 Viewing Previously Received Messages
To view previously received messages:
1 Press and hold the text message button, or select the text message menu item, and select
“View Msg”. The display will show “Message 1”, which is the most recent message
received.
2 Use the Select knob to move through the list to the desired message.
3 To view the message text, press the Select knob.
Note Text messages are retained only while the radio is powered up. If power is removed, all
text message data is lost.

be sent to a properly configured repeater (digital conventional only).
