You can assign contacts to specific groups to organize the address book. The group field
arranges the contacts based on the group name, in alphabetical order. The groups are first
sorted by alphabetical order. Following that, the contacts are then sorting inside each group
in the same manner. If there are contacts that do not contain a group, they are sorted
above of the list of groups alphabetically. Tap on a group header to expand and condense
each of the groups for better viewing.
Upon receiving a free-text or canned message from the SHOUT ts that is referenced to a
specific contact, the NAL Research’s NOC server forwards the message to the email address
listed on the second line of the contact. Application developers can define their own set of
rules with information contained in the contact so that their NOC servers can use them to
determine the appropriate response.

BOX
The Check Mailbox [
Chk Mbox
] option is available ONLY when the Iridium link is
enabled.
There are three ways the SHOUT ts can initiate a mailbox check for any pending messages
at the Iridium gateway:
1.
Manually force the SHOUT ts to check the mailbox at any time using the
Chk Mbox
menu.
2.
When tracking mode is enabled, the SHOUT ts automatically checks the mailbox
each time it wakes up to send a position report.
