MAKING A STATUS CALL
Status Calls allow a Status Number to be sent between users. This Status Number can have a meaning that t
he user assigns to it.
e.g. 1 may mean: “Ready for Despatch”.
2 may mean: “At Lunch”.
3 may mean: “Contact Home”, (etc).
A Status Message can be sent in a number of ways similar to making Voice Calls.
6.1.1 Using the Phonebook
To send a Status Call using the Phonebook:
• Scroll through the Phonebook until the persons name is displayed (or enter the ID number using the keypad).
• Do not press #.
• Go to the Status Screen (Press M and then select Status Screen).
• Then use the keys to scroll through the entries until the desired message is displayed.
• Press the PTT key to send the Status Message to the selected Phonebook person (or entered number).
Note: Your radio may be set up to send all Status Messages to a fixed identity.
6.1.2 By Dialling the Numbers
If the Status Number and the destination ID Number are known, use the keypad to enter the numbers in the following
format:
* n * x # where n is the Status Message Number (01 – 20), and x is and the destination ID Number.
eg * 0 2 * 3 5 # where Status Message Number 02 = ‘At Lunch’, and destination ID Number 35 = ‘Andrew Jones’ means
A Status Call was sent to ‘Andrew Jones’ indicating the sender was ‘At Lunch’.
Note:
You cannot send a Status Message during a Voice Call.
