Sending and receiving text
messages
Your radio may be programmed so that you can send
text messages. The three options for creating text
messages are selecting a preset text message,
editing a draft text message, or creating a new text
message.
To either edit or enter a text message, your
radio must have alphanumeric keys.
Using the alphanumeric keys to enter text
When the alphanumeric keys are used to enter a text
message, they have special functions.
■ Use the # key to select the type of text entry:
upper and lower case characters (ABC, abc), ini-
tial capitals (Abc), or numbers (123).
■ Use the left selection key (Clear) to delete a char-
acter from the display.
■ Use the scroll keys to move through a message.
Repeated presses of these keys will give you the
characters shown in the following table.
