Regarding Distress Relay Calls

This radio cannot send Distress Relay calls. Only large ships and shore stations, with specially equipped radios, can send Distress Relay calls.

Receiving Distress Relay Calls

This radio does respond to a Distress Relay call just as it responds to a Distress call.

Sending an All Ships Call

Use the DSC All Ships call for the same urgency and safety purposes as the Pan and Securite voice calls as well as sending Routine messages to all stations at once. The DSC All Ships call reaches all stations in radio range. Use the DSC All Ships call for urgent, but not life-threatening situations or to broadcast a safety warning to all vessels in the area. Use the DSC All Ships call judiciously for Routine calls.

To Send an All Ships Call:

1.In Standby mode, select a channel to communicate a routine call. The radio uses Channel 16 for urgent and safety calls.

2.Press the Call/Setup button to enter the Call Setup menu.

3.Scroll to All Ships.

4.Press Enter button for All Ships Call Select.

5.Scroll to type of call. The display shows: URGENCY, SAFETY, ROUTINE or EXIT. Select the type of call.

6.Press the Enter button twice to send a message.

NOTE

The radio display requires confirmation before sending Urgency and Safety calls.
