Text Messaging
Your radio is able to receive data from another radio or a text message application.
There are two types of text messages, Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Short Text Message and text
message. The maximum length of a DMR Short Text Message is 23 characters. The maximum length
of a text message is 280 characters, including the subject line. The subject line only appears when you
receive messages from e-mail applications.
NOTE:
The maximum character length is only applicable for models with the latest software and
hardware. For radio models with older software and hardware, the maximum length of a text
message is 140 characters. Contact your dealer for more information.
