6.16.1 Sending a Message
To send Messages from one radio to another, the user must select a Unit ID and a
Message. The Unit ID can either be selected from the Unit Call list programmed in
Armada, or may be entered by the user. To select a Unit ID from the Unit Call list, press
the button or soft button assigned to Message on the radio or select “ID List” from the
Message menu. To enter a Unit ID, press and hold the button or soft button assigned to
Message on the radio or select “Enter ID” from the Message menu. Once the Unit ID has
been selected, the radio takes the user to a list which displays the Messages that have been
programmed in the Message List from Armada. A selection (which attempts to send the
Message from this point) can be made by pressing the select button or the PTT. Upon
sending the Message, the radio will wait until the Message has been sent, and then display
the appropriate message for whether it was received successfully or not. If the Message
was not sent successfully, the radio will return back to the Message menu to allow the user
to try again or try a different Unit ID or Message.
6.16.2 Receiving a Message
When a radio receives a Message, it will flash the green LED next to the toggle switch,
sound a Message Received Tone, and display three flash messages (“Msg Rcvd”, Unit ID
of sending radio, Message Alias or ID received). The Message is cleared upon any button
press when not in the menu. When in the menu, the Message is only cleared by pressing
the Back/Clear button.
