Messages can only be deleted one at a time, to prevent the wrong message from being

deleted.
Pressing

CLEAR

, at any point while viewing or recalling a message, will send it to the

unit’s electronic storage bin and save the message for later review or action.
The keyboard unit is very versatile in its ability to send, receive, edit and redirect a

message.
Messages can be initiated in several ways from a keyboard unit:

Custom Message

– type the message.

Phrase Key

– if necessary, modify the address and/or the phrase.

Recall a Message to Resend –

if necessary, modify the address and/or the

message.

Note: To initiate a message from your unit, the unit must be in idle mode.

Phrase keys:

• are the top two rows of keys on the keyboard (

1

through

Ø

and

Q

through

P

).

• can be edited after a phrase key is pressed. (Refer to Editing section.)

• are able to be customized with frequently used text. (See System

Administrator’s Manual for programming.)

• can be assigned an initial address for all keys or a unique initial address for

individual keys.

• The initial address is the first address displayed when

ALERT ENTER

,

MESSAGE ENTER

,

REMINDER ENTER

, or a phrase key is pressed.

• can be used to initiate or respond to alerts and messages, or to initiate a status.

• limits the user to the text of the phrase unless the phrase is edited.

A phrase key template is located above the keys on a keyboard unit, showing the pro-

grammed phrase and corresponding key.
