Operations
When a SAFETY call is received, the DSC Received alert is sounded. The
LCD displays a message that an SAFETY call is being received, along with
the sender's MMSI number, and a prompt to press ENT to accept or CLR to
log the call. The DSC Received alert and the displayed message continue
until either ENT or CLR is pressed. If ENT is pressed, the radio switches to
Channel 16 in 25W mode and the contents of the communication are stored
in memory. If CLR is pressed, the radio reverts to the mode before receiving
the SAFETY Call and the contents are stored in memory.
