STATUS MESSAGE
Status Message lets you send a pre-defined message to the dis-
patcher or to another user’s ID. Up to 10 pre-defined alphanu-
meric Status Messages are available such as “At Lunch” or “En
Route”.
You can also send any numeric Status Message from 1-255. A Sta-
tus Message can be sent by selecting both the Status Message
and target ID (alias) of the person who is to receive the Status
Message. You can cut talk time to a minimum by sending Status
Messages. You can also leave a Status Message for receivers while
they are away from their mobiles.

tion. You must be in Group or Private Mode to access this func-
tion.

2. Press Option “Exit” to return to either
the Group or Private mode. Press Option
“Targt” to go to the Target ID selection
screen.

grammed alphanumeric status messages or any other numeric
Status Message within the range of 1-255.
