Registering Scan Groups

The Central System emits a free-signal to indicate a MARITEX radio channel is in idle condition and available for ship-to-shore calls. The free-signal is detected and recognized by the shipboard equipment as a permission to start the transmission. Then, the ship- board operator initiates a call.

You can scan search for the free-signal automatically by register- ing MARITEX radio channels in scan group(s). The procedure for registering scan groups for MARITEX use is the same as that which appears on page 3-7.

1.Press function key [F5] to display the Station menu.

2.Press the [3] key to select Scan Entry. The screen should look something like Figure 7-2.
