About status messages
A status message is sent to another party to indicate your
current activity or location, such as “en route” or “at lunch”.
If the radio receiving your message has been programmed
with the same status messages, it will decode and display
your message. If you receive a status message, the message
is automatically queued, since a response is not expected.
Selecting a status message
1 Select Main>Send>Status.
2 In the Status menu, scroll
through the list of status
messages until the message you
want appears.
Sending a status message
1 When you have chosen a
message, press Options and the
Send To menu opens.
2 In the Send To menu, scroll
through the list of options until
the choice you want appears.
Note: If your radio has
alphanumeric keys, you can
choose the option Send to dialled, then dial the
number of the party you wish to call.
