Messages
Your radio supports status messages, text (SDS) messages and picture
messages. All message types are available from the Messages menu.
Message Inbox
Incoming messages are displayed in the Inbox with the most recently received messages at the top.
Unread messages appear in Bold. The Inbox can store up to 50 messages. When the Inbox is full,
unsaved older messages are automatically deleted when new messages are received. If you want to
keep a message, you must save it.
If your radio is configured to show messages in tabs, the most recent message appears on the last
numbered tab, for example if there are 5 messages in your Inbox a new message will appear on tab
number 6. If you want to read older messages use the navigation keys to scroll through the message
tabs. Unread message appear on black labelled tabs.
To keep the Inbox to a manageable size it is recommended that messages are deleted or saved after
reading them. See Saved messages on page71.
