Lowrance electronic LVR-850 manual Advanced Operation, Calls

Section 3: Advanced Operation

This section will give a more detailed explanation of what your radio can do. We'll start off with a breakdown of the types of DSC calls the LVR-850 can transmit and receive. That will be followed by a brief de- scription of how to place a non-DSC call. If you are comfortable with your knowledge regarding transmission and reception of calls, skip ahead to page 20 to see how to set up a MMSI Directory. On page 27, there is information on the radio's weather function.

Calls

Transmission

The five DSC calling modes are:

1.AllShips Call: places a call to any ship in range of you.

2.Directory Call: dials number from MMSI directory.

3.Distress Call: executes an emergency call to Coast Guard and other ships in range of you.

3.Last Call: dials last incoming call.

4.New Call: places call to caller not in the MMSI directory.

Press CALL then use the ↑ ↓ keys to scroll through the four choices (DISTRESS CALL is a separate function, so it is not included in the calls menu). The LAST CALL option always appears first.
