5 CALLING, RECEIVING

5.10 Log File

Three log files are provided for storage of calls: received ordinary log, received distress log and transmitted log. Each log file stores 50 calls, on a first-in, first-out basis. This means that the latest call is saved as log no.1 and the log no. of all previous calls in that log increments by one. When the storage capacity is exceeded, the oldest call is deleted to make room for the latest. An asterisk (*) marks unread or unacknowledged calls. Received distress calls are automatically deleted 48 hours after being read.

5.10.1 Opening a log file

The procedure for opening a log is common to all logs. The example below shows how to open the received distress log.

1. At the DSC standby screen, press the [LOG/TUNE] key to open the Log file menu.
