Preparing a confidential message
If communicating with another FELCOM 12, you can prepare a con-
fidential message by entering “S???-addressee code(-password):” in
first line of message text. You can also receive confidential messages
containing this header from a land subscriber or any MES which uses
the FELCOM 12.
There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee
code and message with both addressee code and password.
When a FELCOM 12 receives a confidential message, the message
is not displayed and printed immediately. To display or print the con-
tents of a confidential message, the recipient executes the key se-
quences shown on page 4-23.
