STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status
condition to the EDACS site. Message operation permits the transmission of a
pre-programmed message text to an EDACS site.
Status Operation
To send a status condition, press the
 key followed by  or  key to
select the pre-programmed status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed
status selections are available from the menu. If STATUS is selected you need
to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no status
has been programmed 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
 key
has been pressed (the
 key 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. Status messages can also be
programmed for single key operation so that a single press of a key assigned
to a status message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not
receive the status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.
The status selection can also be canceled by pressing the CLEAR button prior
to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the

key and then the
 key to ramp to STS, re-press the  key again and then
the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent
successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the
display.
Message Operation
Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the
previous section.
