DMS (Digital Message System) is an Alphanumeric 2-way Paging Function, and
is a protocol owned by KENWOOD Corporation.  DMS enables a variety of
paging functions on your transceiver, some of which depend on dealer
programming.

• Press Selcall Entry, Selcall List, Selcall + Status Entry, Selcall + Status List, or

Queue to change the transceiver mode as shown in the diagram above.

• Press the PTT switch to initiate a call.

• Use the DTMF keypad to enter Selcall or Status numbers.

Depending on how your dealer programmed the transceiver, Selcall Mode may be skipped or the
transceiver may exit Selcall Mode automatically (as shown by the dash arrow).  When you enter
Selcall Mode after receiving a selcall, the transceiver does not enter Status Mode.

Depending on how your dealer programmed the transceiver, the transceiver may exit these modes
automatically, rather than by pressing a key.
