About text messages
Your radio may be programmed so that you can send
text messages. There are three options for creating
text messages:
■ selecting a preset text message,
■ editing a preset text message, or
■ creating a new text message.
Note: To either edit or enter a text message, your radio must
have alphanumeric keys.
Using the alphanumeric keys to enter text

message, they have special functions.
■ Use key to toggle between upper and lower case
characters.
