■ I

An ID code is a combination of a 3-digit Fleet number and a 4-digit ID
number.  Each transceiver must have its own Fleet and ID number.

• Enter a Fleet number (100 ~ 349) to make a group call.
• Enter an ID number (1000 ~ 4999) to make an individual call in your fleet.
• Enter a Fleet number make a call to all units in the selected fleet (Interfleet call).
• Enter an ID number to make a call to the selected ID in all fleets (Supervisor call).
• Select “ALL” Fleet and “ALL” ID to make a call to all units (Broadcast call).

Note:  The ID range may be limited by programming.

You can send and receive 2-digit Status messages which may be decided in your
talk group.  Messages can contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters.  Status
messages range from 10 to 99 (80 ~ 99 are reserved for special messages).

A maximum of 15 received messages can be stored in the stack memory of your
transceiver.  These saved messages can be reviewed after reception.
Depending on your dealer settings, when the stack memory is full, either the
oldest message will be erased when a new message is received or the new
message will not be stored in the stack memory.  The   icon lights when a
message is stored in the stack memory.
