Use the Check-In [
Chk-In
] option to send a quick message with a single, easily accessed
button. You can add the Chk-In icon to the home screen favorites bar for quicker access.
When you press the Chk-In button, a second screen appears requesting confirmation. Once
confirmed, the SHOUT 3G sends out a reserved canned message code representing a Chk-In
message. If the Texting/Inc GPS option is enabled, GPS location is attached to the Chk-In
message. Chk-In messages with GPS location take longer to complete because the 3G has to
acquire a GPS fix first.
