. You can read and send status
messages (network service), and save them for later use.
There are three types of status messages:
•
Status messages
are predefined messages with varying contents. You
can send them to your selected recipient.
•
Situation indicators
are predefined messages with varying contents. You
can send them to a predefined recipient.
•
Callback requests
contain the message "callback". You can send
callback requests to your selected recipient.
Status and situation indicator messages consist of numbers. If the number
has a corresponding text in the radio memory, the text is shown when you
receive messages or send them with the
submenu.
Network settings may affect, for example, the recipient of those callback
requests and situation indicators that are sent to talk group addresses. The
recipient is either the talk group dispatcher or all talk group members.
When you send a status message, and if
is
activated, your radio may send the position information to your organisation, if
predefined by your organisation. See Position settings on page 64. Position
information sending is only possible in the network mode and when
transmission barring is not activated.
Your radio supports sending and receiving of status messages also in direct
mode. See Direct mode status messages on page 59.
