The status messaging feature allows you to manually or automatically send your current 
status to your dispatcher on P25 channels. Up to 255 status conditions can be 
preprogrammed, and they are identified by an alias. If the STATUS option switch is 
programmed, status conditions are sent as follows:

1 Momentarily press the STATUS option switch, soft button (Lightning Control Head 

only), or select the option via the menu. The alias of the current status condition is 
displayed.

2 To change the current status, rotate the Select switch until the desired status is 

displayed. Then to send the status, momentarily press the PTT switch. One of the 
following events then occurs:

- If five beeps sound and “ACK RECVD” (Standard Control Head) or “Ack Received” 

(Lightning Control Head) is displayed, the status was received and acknowledged by 
the system.

- If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and “NO ACK” 

(Standard Control Head) or “No Acknowledge” (Lightning Control Head) is 
displayed.

See Section 8 for information on data functions and services.

Since keypad programming is permitted by Federal Government users only, only Federal 
models of this radio can be programmed with this feature. It is then available only if it has 
been enabled by factory programming and a conventional mode option switch is 
programmed for the “Keypad Programming” function.
