How to Guide
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
.
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. To respond to
the
call, select Send: Able-Comply; the radio sends an acknowledgement and automatically
switches to the designated response channel. To reject the call, select Send: Unable-Comply;
the radio advises the other station that you are unable to respond to the call.
If the DSC request contains a response channel that you are not allowed to use, the radio
displays Not Support CH; your only response option is Send: Unable-Comply.
If the radio receives a group or all ships call, it sounds an incoming call tone and
automatically switches to the designated response channel.
Receive log
Just like your telephone’s caller ID list, your radio keeps track of the calls you receive but
do not answer. The receive log is useful if you have been off your boat or away from your
radio and want to see who has tried to contact you. The radio displays the last 10 distress
calls and the last 20 non-distress calls that it received. If you have unread incoming DSC
calls, the radio displays a Message icon. When you display all Distress and Other receiving
logs, the message icon disappears.
