STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION
Status Operation
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre- programmed status condition to the EDACS site.
To send a status condition, press the 7key then press one of the nu ber keys ( 0-9) to select the pre-programmed status. If no status has been pro- grammed for the selected number key, the radio will display "NO ENTRY". A valid selection will permit the status text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the mkey has been pressed (the mkey will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. If the site does not receive the status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.
If an incorrect status was selected or the incorrect number key was pressed, the status can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number key. The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period.
