Furuno FELCOM 16 Manual De Usuario

3. FILE OPERATIONS 

If communicating with another FURUNO FELCOM, you can prepare a 
confidential message by entering “S???-addressee code(-password):” in the first 
line of the message text. You can also receive confidential messages containing 
this header from a land subscriber or any MES. 
 
There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code 
and message with both addressee code and password. 
 
When the FELCOM 16 receives a confidential message, the message is neither 
displayed nor printed immediately. To display or print the contents of a 
confidential message, the recipient executes the procedure shown in paragraph 
4.2.3. 
 
Addressee code and password 

Caller and recipient agree beforehand on both the addressee code and the 
password. The addressee code might be the title of the recipient; for example,
