or the number to be dialled.

3.14 Status Calls (GP360/GP380 only)
Feature
A status is a code for transmitting prearranged messages, e.g. status “05” may indicate
“Return to Base”. The prearranged messages and associated code digits are contained in a Status
List which contains up to 255 entries. This list is used for both incoming calls, when the status of the
calling radio is displayed, and outgoing calls, when the status of the radio is sent either to a
requesting radio or to other radios.
Benefits

Pre-arranged messages used to convey status avoids ambiguity.

Efficient use of airtime.

Sends useful information to team members, discreetly, without the need to talk.
3.15 Dedicated Call Buttons
Feature
This allows a button to be programmed with a contact number which is always dialled whenever the
button is pressed. It is comparable with the memory button facility on some telephones. A number
of different buttons can be used for this purpose.
Benefits

Fast access to frequently called people.

Simple and effective operation.

Promotes efficient radio operation.
