42 Making and receiving different types of calls
Informing other radio users of your status
You can inform other radio users of your current status by
sending them a status update, for example, ‘On site’. You
may be able to attach a status update to an individual or
group call.
About status messages
A status message contains information about your current
activity or location, which is sent to the called radio. Status
messages are defined when your radio is programmed. Each
message is assigned a number from 0 to 99, and an 8-
character name (for example,
AT LUNCH or AT HOME).
Your radio may be programmed to automatically send a
status message when you send a selcall, or you may be able
to assign a status message.
Assigning a status message
To assign a status message to a call:
1 Long press the
menu key to enter menu mode (if the
radio displays a submenu option, press the clear key to
enter the main menu).
2 Scroll through the main menu options using the arrow
keys until
SEND SELCALL is displayed.
3 Short press the menu key to enter the Selcall submenu
and scroll using the arrow keys until
SELECT STATUS
is displayed.
4 Select the desired status message from the available list
using the arrow keys
.
OR Enter a number from 0 to 99 using the keypad.
5 Long press the menu key to confirm your choice and exit.
When you next make a Selcall call, a status message will
be attached.
