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-MENUto display the call menu.

2.Select Position Send.

3.The radio displays the names listed in your directory; use CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN to choose the directory entry you want to contact and press ENT-1W/25W. If you want to contact 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.

4.The radio displays the MMSI number you are about to contact and asks you to confirm. If you want to transmit your position to the displayed MMSI number, select Send. To cancel the transmission, select Cancel.
