Sending and Receiving Text Messages
The radio may be programmed so that it can send text messages. The three options for creating text messages are
selecting a preset text message, editing a draft text message, or creating a new text message.
To either edit or enter a text message, the radio must have alphanumeric keys.
Using the alphanumeric keys to enter text
When the alphanumeric keys are used to enter a text message, they have special functions.
• Use the
#
key to select the type of text entry: upper and lower case characters (
ABC
,
abc
), initial capitals
(
Abc
), or numbers (
123
).
• Use the left selection key (
Clear
) to delete a character from the display.
• Use the scroll keys to move through a message.
Repeated presses of these keys will provide the characters shown in the following table:
