The Address List
172 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Message
The Message setting in the Address List entry is available when you select Message?
as the call type. You can pre-store a standard message that is sent each time you make a
call using this entry in the Address List. For example, you may need to notify your base
station that you are shutting down for the day. Therefore, you would create an entry in
your Address List to send a Message call (call type) to your base station (address)
containing the message Shut down. The privacy mode and privacy password in the
network used for the call specify how the data is transmitted, for example, plain or
encrypted (see page 146, Privacy Mode).
The Message setting may also be used to store your GPS location if you have Option
GPS Enable installed, but no GPS receiver. If you name this Address List entry My
GPS, the transceiver reads the GPS information stored in the Message setting and uses it
as a point of reference for automatic distance and bearing calculations. When you view
an Address List or call log entry containing GPS information for a remote station or
specific location, the transceiver automatically calculates, then displays, the distance and
bearing to that remote GPS position.
Messages are sent using a Codan protocol in Codan Selcall networks, and as an AMD
message in ALE/CALM networks.
A Message call closes the link as soon as the message is sent.
Phone Link
The Phone Link setting in an Address List entry is available when you select Phone? as
the call type. It identifies the phone link station through which the call is made.

A?B?
(example only)
