6.17 RADIO TEXTLINK
Radio TextLink provides short text messaging functionality for radios. Due to the difficulty of
entering text messages on a radio, predefined "canned" messages and predefined replies can be
stored in the radio. To facilitate sending messages where information must be provided at send
time, text message forms can also be stored in the radio. A form can contain up to four (4) text
prompts, for which the operator enters alphanumeric values before sending the message.
6.17.1 Radio TextLink Messages
To send a canned Radio TextLink message:
1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the main menu.
2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the MESSAGES menu.
3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight TEXTLINK MESSAGES and press the
Menu/Select button.
4. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the desired message.
• Press the Menu/Select button to send the message.
• Select CHG CALLEE to change the destination for the message.
• Select TOD QUERY to get the time of day.
6.17.2 Radio TextLink Forms
Form messages are displayed and stored in the radio as a message in which each field to be
filled is indicated by a question mark (?) followed by one or more asterisks (*). The number of
asterisks indicates the maximum number of alphanumeric characters allowed for that field.
To send a Radio TextLink form:
1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the main menu.
2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the MESSAGES menu.
3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight TEXTLINK FORMS and press the
Menu/Select button.
