4.3.2 How to Receive a DSC Distress Call
Step 1 When a DSC distress call is received, the emergency alarm sounds.
Rotate the Menu/DSC control to stop the alarm.
Step 2 Optional: The display shows the MMSI of the vessel in distress. To show
additional information of the vessel in distress, select "INFO", and then
select "OK".
Step 3
To accept the distress call, select "ACCEPT".
The radio switches to CH16 automatically.
Note
If you press "CANCEL", the radio quits the automatic switching to
CH16 and reverts to the last selected working channel.
Step 4 Listen on CH16 for five minutes.
4.4 Individual Call
This feature allows you to contact a vessel with the DSC feature.
Caution
To make a DSC individual call, the radio of the receiving party should be set to
manually acknowledge the individual call request from the initiating party.
Otherwise, the radio of the receiving party will automatically send an "unable to
acknowledge" message and the individual call cannot be established. For
information about how to set it, see 11.4 Individual Acknowledgement.
