presses. The available functions depend on analog/digital mode. In digital mode the

and the right soft key exits without changing zones.
3.2.11.2 Setting Current Status
Successive presses of the # key may prompt “CUR. STATUS:” to set the current status.
This function is only available in digital mode. The current status is used when sending
status to other users, or when other users request the current status. The current status
may also be set under MENU | STATUS | PRESENT STATUS.
Sending current status and requesting status from other users may be
disabled in radio programming. You may still set current status and
receive status messages from other users.

Successive presses of the # key may prompt “INDIVIDUAL:” to enter unacknowledged
individual call mode. This function is only available in digital mode. A unit ID may be
entered or selected from the index list. Once a unit ID is selected, the radio will enter
individual call mode. The radio will transmit unit to unit calls to the entered unit ID each
time PTT is pressed. If PTT is not pressed and no signal is received the individual call
mode will time out after ten seconds.
Individual calling may be disabled by radio programming.
