Using Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Features What is DSC? Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a standard that allows you to call other stations using their unique identification code (the Maritime Mobile Service Identity or MMSI number), just like you would call a phone number. To call another station, just enter that station’s MMSI number and choose the voice channel you want to talk on. The radio uses channel 70 to transmit your MMSI number to the other station along with the voice channel you requested.
You can get more information on MMSI numbers at these resources: xx The dealer where you purchased the radio xx Recreational boaters can obtain an MMSI number from the Boat Owner’s Association of the U.S. (http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/ or call 800-536-1536) or Sea Tow Services International (http://seatow. com/boating_safety/mmsi.asp) xx Commercial boaters need a ship station license to get an MMSI number. For more information, visit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website at http:// wireless.fcc.
Group MMSI number You can change the group MMSI number as often as you want. Follow the steps below to enter a group MMSI number into the radio: Press and hold - Setup Group MMSI Group MMSI 00_______ 16 Back[CLR] Forward[ENT] 1. Display the normal menu and choose the Setup sub-menu. 2. Select Group MMSI. If one was entered previously, the screen displays it. 3. Group MMSI numbers always start with a 0, so that digit is already entered for you.
5. When the first digit is correct, press ENT-1W/25W. The cursor moves to the next digit. Enter the remaining eight digits of the MMSI number in the same way. If you make a mistake while entering a number, press CLR-SCAN to erase the wrong number and the cursor is moved to the left digit. 6. When the ninth digit is correct, press ENT-1W/25W. 7. The radio prompts you to enter a name for this MMSI number; the name is what you will see in the directory list. Each name can be up to 12 characters.
Suppose you are coordinating safety for a sailboat race. Before the race starts, you instruct all the racers to enter your group MMSI number into their radios. During the race: xx Throughout the race, you use group calling to update the racers on the time, race status, and any course corrections. xx A power boat full of spectators comes a little too close to the race path. You use individual calling to contact the power boat and advise them to stay clear of the race.
Calling a particular group of stations (Group Call) Group calling calls all the stations that share your group MMSI. You must have a group MMSI programmed into the radio to make a group call, and the stations (boats) you are calling must have this same group MMSI programmed into their radios. 1. Press CALL-MENU to display the call menu. 2. Select Group. 3. The radio prompts you to select a response channel. Use CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN to scroll through the available channels.
3. If no MMSI number has been programmed, the radio prompts you to enter your MMSI number. Canceling an automatic distress call While the radio is waiting for a response, it gives you the option of canceling the call. To cancel the distress call, choose Cancel and press ENT-1W/25W. Receiving a DSC call If your radio receives an individual DSC call from another station, it sounds an incoming call tone and displays the name or MMSI number of the station calling you.
DSC Call Type Receive Log Information Distress Relay Acknowledge MMSI (or name), distress MMSI, position, time, nature code. Geographical MMSI (or name), category code, communication channel number. All Ships MMSI (or name), category code, communication channel number. Group MMSI (or name), category code, communication channel number. Individual MMSI (or name), category code, communication channel number.
If you want to send a test call to a station that is not in your directory, select Manual. The radio prompts you to enter the MMSI number you want to call. Enter the MMSI number the same way you enter directory entries (see page 19). Enter all nine digits and press ENT-1W/25W button. 4. The radio displays the MMSI number you are about to call Test and asks you to confirm. If you want to call the displayed 123456789 number, select Send. To cancel the call, select Cancel. Send 5.
Position Request and Reply Requesting another station’s position (POS Request) Anytime you need to know where another boat currently is—to find your boating partners, to respond to a request for assistance, etc.—you can send a position request to their radio: 1. Press CALL-MENU to display the call menu. 2. Select DSC Call sub-menu, then select POS Request. 3.
4. To disable automatic position reply, repeat the steps above and select Manual. Sending your own position (Position Send) If your radio is connected to a GPS receiver, you can send your boat’s position to someone else. If you are requesting assistance or using an all ships call to give a safety warning, you can send your current position so other stations know where you are: 1. Press CALL-MENU to display the call menu. 2. Select Position Send. 3.
##NOTE: Use this feature with caution. Deactivating automatic switching and then forgetting it can make it hard for you to receive DSC calls. If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays a message icon. You will be able to review who has called. The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 20 nondistress calls it received (see the receive log on page 24).
Connecting the radio To operate correctly, your radio requires two electrical connections: xx providing it with power from the boat’s electrical system xx connecting a VHF-FM marine antenna to the antenna connector Power Supply Requirements VHF Antenna Requirements Nominal 13.8 VDC power supply with a negative ground (9.5 VDC to 15.8 VDC). Power leads should be kept as short as possible. A direct connection to the power supply is ideal.
Connecting to a GPS receiver If you connect the radio to a GPS receiver, the radio can automatically transmit your current position during an automated distress call or during a normal DSC call. Your radio supports a standard NMEA0183 input from a GPS receiver. Follow the steps below to connect your radio to your GPS receiver: Orange: NMEA OUT (-) Black: Ext. Speaker (-)/GND Green: GPS Data IN (+) Red: External Speaker (+) Bare wire: Ground Yellow: NMEA OUT (+) 13.8V DC 1.

Follow the steps below to adjust the time: Press and hold - Setup Use the up and down arrows to adjust the time by one hour. GPS Setup Time Adjust 09 : 14 16 Time Adjust Back[CLR] Select[ENT] 1. Display the normal menu and choose the Setup sub-menu. 2. Select GPS Setup and then choose Time Adjust. 3. The display shows your current local time. To adjust the time forward one hour, use CHANNEL UP. To adjust the time back one hour, use CHANNEL DOWN button. Press ENT1W/25W button when you are finished.
2. Connect the RED wire of the accessory cable to the POSITIVE (+) WIRE of your external speaker. 3. Be certain all wire connections are secure and that all open wires are adequately covered. ##NOTE: To extend the life of the radio, use waterproof tape to seal electrical connections. Maintenance and Troubleshooting Due to its rugged design, your radio requires very little maintenance.
Problem Things to Try I can’t see any words on the display. Reset the radio back to the default brightness level: turn off the radio; hold the CALL-MENU button and turn it back on. I’m not getting any GPS data on my display. Make sure your GPS receiver is correctly connected (see Connecting to a GPS receiver, page 31). Make sure your GPS receiver is working properly. Make sure that your GPS receiver supports the NMEA parameters described in NMEA Operation on page 46. I’m not getting any hazard alerts.
