8. To acknowledge the message press Select,

otherwise use the scroll keys to highlight

and press Select, or press Back.

9. If Back is pressed the screen returns to the

list of received DSC messages.

Message 1 now has a character ‘R’ attribute.

This indicates that the message has been

read.

10. To read more messages use the scroll

keys to highlight the appropriate message

number, then repeat steps 6 to 8 to read /

acknowledge the message(s).

11. If you return to the standby screen (and all

messages have been read) the  is removed.

Distress (and Urgency) messages are treated in exactly the same way, but are

stored (and accessed from) the Distress Log.

Note: While a call is being displayed, the left Action key shows Select if no

acknowledgement has been sent (and the message is of the type which can be

acknowledged) or Reset if the message has been acknowledged. In the first case,

pressing Select produces a prompt to acknowledge the message. It is thus possible

to defer the acknowledgement of messages until a convenient time; the sender will

then be informed that the called party (i.e. you) is now ready to communicate.
