Solara Field Tracker 2100 User Guide
Sending Text Messages
There are two types of text messages that can be sent from the FT2100; pre-formatted text
messages under the “Send Txt Msg”, “Custom Msgs” or “View Sent Msg” menus, or free-form
text messages typed in manually in the “Make Txt Msg” menu.
To send a text message, ensure the unit is in the “On” position. If the FT2100 is in power save
mode, hold down the square yellow “Enter” key to wake the FT2100.
Once the screen is on, hold down one of the yellow front navigation keys until a menu appears,
then release the key. Hold down the Enter key to select “Send Txt Msg” or “Make Txt Msg”
then release the key.
To choose a message to send from the “Send Txt Msg” preformatted message menu, push
down the left or right yellow navigation keys to show each message on the screen. This is
indicated by the discrete arrowheads pointing left and right either side of the “MSG” number
on the second line of the screen. Once the message you wish to send is displayed, push the
Enter key. Answer “Yes” to the pop-up prompt by holding down the top key, and then Enter
to confirm. The FT2100 will beep when the message is confirmed sent.
To type a text message on the front keypad, choose “Make Txt Msg” from the Messages
menu. Once the blank screen opens, the message can be typed using the grey keys on the
front keypad.
