Motorola LM 3000E manual Entering the Status Message Mode

Status Message

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.

Entering the Status Message Mode

To enter the Status Message mode, you must press the status option key. This key is accessible from the Group and Private modes.

This is the default screen you see when you enter the Status mode.

The second line shows the Status Message (alpha or numeric) of the last successfully sent status.

EXIT returns you back to either Group or Private mode. TARGT takes you to the Target ID selec- tion screen.
