General
The messaging feature lets you:
•   send short text messages (free text or according to user 
defined or predefined templates),
•   send status messages, 
•   receive messages.
A status is a number corresponding to a pre-programmed 
message in a list your group recognises. A text message is a 
short text containing up to 140 characters. Each message is 
stamped with the date and time it was left in the inbox. 
Sending a Text Message
General
You can send new messages, send messages based on 
user defined templates or send messages based on 
predefined templates.
The predefined templates are programmed into your 
 
MTH800 by your Service Provider. The user defined 
templates are Inbox messages or, new Outbox messages 
that you choose to store in your 
 MTH800 memory. User 
defined messages may also be programmed into your 
 
MTH800.
You are allowed to edit your messages before sending them. 
You can send a message when the terminal is idle or during a 
Group/Emergency/Broadcast Call (if configured).
If configured, a message will alert you of an incoming Group/
Emergency/Broadcast call, of your joining it, or of its end.
It is not possible to send a status or text message in TXI Mode.
