TRANSMIT MESSAGE STATUS

The terminal unit displays transmit message status as follows:

“Message Send failed.” This appears if the message could not be transmitted because of technical reasons such as satellite malfunction, signal degradation, or no reply from LES. Try to transmit the message again.

“Message Send rejected.” This appears when the LES rejects the message because of non-technical reasons such as unpaid subscriber’s fee.

“Message Send pending.” This appears when the circuits at the LES are busy. Your message will be transmitted when a circuit becomes clear.
