TEXT MESSAGES
Another function of your TETRA terminal is sending text messages of up to 140
characters (160 if the destination address is a telephone number).
You can create a new message by using the keypad to type the text (
Text\New message
Menu), or select one of the messages stored in the outbox (
Text\Outbox
Menu).
Once you have written the message or selected one from the outbox, select the
destination number, as explained in page 23 (status messages), then press the green key
to send the message.
The terminal will indicate the result of the operation with an information message.
No action is necessary to receive text messages. When you receive one, you will hear a
characteristic tone and the
icon will appear in the lower right of the screen, indicating a
new message to read.
In the Text
\
Inbox menu you can consult all received text messages, and in
Text\
Configure
you can access the different parameters which can be modified in the text
message service. For example, activating delivery reports.
