Canned Message
region to view the

option. Select

to remove the selected canned message at any

Note:
As with the contact list, SatTerm is used to create and save canned messages
into the SHOUT 3G’s memory. During setup, SatTerm requires connectivity between
the 3G and a NOC server to synchronize the lookup table of short codes. Sending
canned messages saves bandwidth and airtime cost because only short codes are
being transmitted instead of the entire message body. The short codes are defined
by application developers and not by the 3G.

Inc GPS
option is turned on, then GPS location will be added to the message.
Messages with GPS location take longer to send because the 3G has to acquire a
GPS fix.

The
Contacts
option is an address book with a list of contacts created and saved into the
SHOUT 3G’s memory using NAL Research’s SatTerm software. During setup, SatTerm
requires connectivity between the 3G and a NOC server to synchronize the lookup table of
short codes. As with canned messages, short codes are used to map real addresses to a lookup
table located at a NOC.
