5.15.7 MESSAGING
The messaging feature* allows preprogrammed
messages to be sent to a dispatcher on P25 channels.
Up to 16 messages can be preprogrammed, and they
are identified by an alias. If a MSG (Message) option

desired message. Then send the message by
momentarily pressing the PTT or Select switch. One
of the following events then occurs:
• If five beeps sound and “ACK RECVD” is
displayed, the message was received and automat-
ically acknowledged by the system.
• If after five tries the message is not acknowledged,
a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed.
5.15.8 STATUS MESSAGING
The status messaging feature* allows you to
manually or automatically send your current status to
your dispatcher on P25 channels. Up to eight status
conditions can be preprogrammed, and they are identi-
fied by an alias. If the STATUS option switch is
programmed, status conditions are sent as follows:
1. Momentarily press the STATUS option switch. The
alias of the current status condition is displayed.
2. To change the current status, rotate the Select switch
until the desired status is displayed. Then to send the
status, momentarily press the PTT switch. One of
the following events then occurs:
• If five beeps sound and “ACK RCVD” is
displayed, the status was received and acknowl-

a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed.
5.15.9 P25 PACKET DATA
P25 packet data transmission capability is avail-
able with later model** 5300 mobiles. A DATA option
switch must be programmed to toggle the data mode
on and off.
The P25 Packet Data mode allows a subscriber
unit to act as a packet data modem for a remote appli-
cation connected to the subscriber unit via an RS-232
or SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection.
The SLIP connection requires an Ethernet port which
is currently not available.
A special Data Pigtail Cable, Part No. 597-2002-
282, is installed in the radio to provide the RS-232
port (female DB9 connector) for connecting the
external data equipment to the 5300 mobile.

to Federal Government users only. Users regulated by
