• RMS Free Text – (available in SDS-TL only) a unidirectional message containing free text that is
sent to the radio by the service provider. Since this type of message may be longer, the radio
displays only its beginning on the home screen. To view the full message, go to
Menu →
Messages → RMS Box .
The latest RMS free text or the latest received or sent RMS status is kept on the home screen until the
next power cycle.
RMS free text messages and incoming and outgoing RMS statuses are stored in the RMS Box . Its
capacity is maximum ten entries for incoming and outgoing RMS messages. If the RMS Box is full, any
new incoming or outgoing RMS message overwrites the oldest message (received or sent).
The latest RMS free text is kept on the home screen until the next power cycle. The latest received or
sent RMS status is kept on the home screen until the next power cycle or up to 30 seconds (depending
on the settings configured by your service provider).
The radio receives and sends RMS messages only from and to the numbers predefined by your
service provider.
