Reading Short Data Messages
Your radio may be programmed with the capability to
receive short data messages called SDMs.
When your radio receives a message,
SDM
flashes in the
lower left-hand corner of the display and the radio gives
three short, medium-pitched beeps.
To read
a message:
■
Long press the menu key. The message appears
across both rows of the display.
To scroll through a message:
■
Use the arrow keys.
To display a message from the start:
■
Hold down PTT and press the left arrow key.
To display a message from the end:
■
Hold down PTT and press the right arrow key.
Exiting SDM Mode
When you have finished reading a message:
■
Long press the menu key to exit.
OR
■
Press the clear key to delete the message (the radio
reverts to the mode it was in before you viewed the
message).
