Status Message lets you send a pre-defined message to the dispatcher or to another user’s ID. Up to 10 pre-defined alphanumeric Status Messages are available such as “AT LUNCH” or ”EN ROUTE”.
You can also send any numeric Status Message from 1-255. A Status Mes- sage can be sent by selecting both the Status Message and target ID (alias) of the person who is to receive the Status Message. You can cut talk time to a minimum by sending Status Messages. You can also leave a Status Message for receivers while they are away from their radios.
