Sending and receiving status
messages
A status message is sent to another party to indicate
your current activity or location, such as “en route” or
“at lunch”. If the radio receiving your message has
been programmed with the same status messages, it
will decode and display your message. If you receive
a status message, the message is automatically
queued, since a response is not expected.
Status messages can also be used to control external
devices.
Sending a status message
1 Press Menu and select Services > Status
update.

of status messages until the message you

3 When you have chosen a message, press Select.
Depending on how radio is programmed, the
message may be sent directly to a
preconfigured radio or group, or you are
presented with options to select a destination.
