##NOTE: Use this feature with caution. Deactivating automatic switching and then forgetting it can make it hard for you to receive DSC calls.

If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays a message icon. You will be able to review who has called. The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 20 non- distress calls it received (see the receive log on page 24).

Mounting the radio

Your radio can sit at any angle in the mounting bracket so it can easily accommodate the best location. First, determine the best place to mount the radio. For optimum performance, find a location that can:

	xx	Properly support the weight of the radio, approximately 2.2 pounds or 1.0 kilograms.
		You may need to use some type of anchor with the mounting screws to hold the radio,
		depending on the surface.
	xx	Keep the battery leads as short as possible.
	xx	Keep the antenna lead-in wire as short as possible.
	xx	Allow free air flow around the heat sink on the rear of the radio.
	xx	Avoid interference with the ship’s compass.
