➤To silence the alert tone:
Press any key. Automatic alert tone cancellation takes place after 2 minutes.
➤To decline the All Ships Call:
Press the CLEAR/WX key. The alert tone is muted, the All Ships Call is
interrupted and the normal screen appears on the display.
➤To accept the All Ships Call:
Push the CH knob. The alert tone is muted (if you have not already pressed
another key) and the radio switches to channel 16.
If the caller requests changing to an unsupported working channel, (channel
75, for example) INVALID CHANNEL appears on the LCD. The radio is unable
to comply with the channel change request but the call is registered in the Call
Log.
Notes: (1) For All Ships Urgency Calls, the AUTO CH CHG option (see
page 78) determines whether your radio automatically switch-
es to channel 16 to receive the call or instead prompts you to
manually accept or decline the channel change.
(2) Pressing the 16/9 key cancels the channel change request and
tunes the radio to channel 16.
(3) If 5 minutes elapse before the All Ships Call is acknowledged or
rejected, the radio automatically declines the incoming call
and the radio reverts to the original channel.
(4) DSC call data is stored in the first available slot in the Call Log,
regardless of whether the call is acknowledged.
