4 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS@ Message function6-digit alphanumeric “messages” can be transmitted or re-ceived together with the pager or code squelch functions. Thetransceiver has 6 message memories each for receive andtransmit, to memorise and send messages, respectively.There are 2 methods to transmit a message: manually, or au-tomatically with preprogrammed transmit memories.© Message standby (receive)® Set the transceiver for pager or code squelch operation.* Remember that pager code programming, etc., for each trans-ceiver in the group is necessary.®@ Push [FUNC] + [MSG].+ “(SS)” appears.@ When receiving a signal with a message, the message isprogrammed into receive message channel “r0” and indi-cated.* Previous messages are shifted to the next higher memory.@ To confirm a previous message, rotate [DIAL] to select theappropriate receive message memory.© Push [(vFo)CLR] to return to frequency indication.© Clearing received messages@ Push [MSG] to select a receive message memory.®@ Push [FUNC] + [(vFo)M CLR].* All receive messages, “r0” to “r5,” are cleared.© Programming for transmit messages@ Push [MSG] 2 times to select atransmit message memory.* One of “TO” to “TS” appears.@ Rotate [DIAL] to select the desiredmemory.@ Push [FUNC] + [@SET] to entermessage writing mode.* The first characterof the message (or“") flashes.@ Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired ce TT‘first character. = 4.* See the table on p. 39 for availablecharacters.® Push [A#] to select the next digitfor input; then rotate [DIAL] to se-lect a character.*[V*] selects the previous digit.© Repeat step ® until the desiredmessage is input.*6 characters is the maximum for a message.@ Push [MSG] to complete the programming.® Push [(vFo)CLR] to exit the message memory.GY NOTE: Message memory channel “TO” is used for theZ opening message and “ICOM” is programmed as the de-% fault text. This can be changed in initial set mode, (p. 33).WS
