Directory

The directory allows the user to store the names of vessels, coast/shore stations,

etc together with the corresponding MMSI. A total of 50 entries may be stored. The

directory may be searched for a particular name; entries may be added and erased.

Adding a Directory Entry

To Add an Entry to the Directory:

1. Press Menu and scroll to Directory.

Press Select and scroll to Add Entry.

2. Press Select.

3. The cursor appears at the first character of

the station name. In the Directory-Add Entry

screen, the numeric keys can be used to enter

alphabetic values, as printed beside each key.

See ‘Appendix A: Character Entry’ for more

details.

4. Characters are added from the keyboard by

pressing the appropriate key to cycle through

the available letters (eg to enter ‘n’, press the

‘6’ key twice). Once a character is entered, the

next character can be entered immediately

provided it is set by a different key. If the same key must be used (for example, to

enter ‘e’ after entering ‘d’), wait two seconds after the key was last pressed for the

cursor to move to the next character position.

In the example screen the first 2 characters of the name ‘Seamist’ are entered;

for upper-case, followed by 4 presses of the key, the

again (lowercase) , then 2 presses of the key.

5. If an incorrect character is entered, the Clear key deletes the last character. If an

error is noticed in the middle of an entry, use the Scroll keys to move the cursor to

the right of the erroneous character, then press Clear to delete it. The new

character can be entered at the cursor position as described in steps 4 and 5.

To enter the MMSI number, scroll down to the line Stn MMSI. The keys return to

numeric mode. Enter the MMSI number using the numeric keys.

When both the name and MMSI number are correct, press Save. The display will

confirm that the entry has been saved. Names are saved in alphabetic order in the

directory. If an entry is incorrect, it cannot be edited once it has been saved. The

entry must be erased, re-entered and saved again.
