About short data messages
Your radio may be able to send and receive short data messages
(SDMs). If the radio receiving your message has been programmed
with the same message, it decodes and displays your message.
If you receive an SDM, the message is automatically queued, since
a response is not expected (see "Responding to missed calls" on
page 54).
For radios with an alphanumeric keypad, it may also be possible to
create an SDM using the keypad.

functions. Use the alphanumeric keys to enter letters, numbers
