About status messages
A status message is sent to another party to indicate your current
activity or location, such as ‘on site’ or ‘at lunch’. If the radio
receiving your call has been programmed with the same status
messages, it decodes and displays your message.
If you receive a status message, the message is automatically
queued, since a response is not expected (see "Responding to
missed calls" on page 54).
