Sending a status message
For analog channels, your radio may be able to
maintain a record of your current status. This status
may be sent with outgoing calls programmed to
contain status information. If the radio receiving your
message has been programmed with the same status
messages, it will decode and display your message.
The message indicates your current activity or
location, such as “en route” or “at lunch”.
To change you current status:
1 Press Menu and select Set status.
2 In the Set Status menu, scroll through the list of
status messages until the message you
want appears.
3 Press Select. The message Status updated
appears on the display.
Transmitting at low power
If you are using your radio in conditions where signal
strength is high, you can extend the shift life of your
battery by transmitting at low power.
When low power transmit is turned on, appears in
the display and calls are made at low power rather
than at the programmed power setting.
Some channels may always transmit at low power.
To turn low power transmit on or off for all channels:
Using the Main Menu
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Low power tx.
