DSC procedures | 

V90S User Manual

Distress calls

DSC is particularly useful for sending distress signals to all stations. 
The process is automated to the extent that if you are under stress, 
you can simply press a single, dedicated distress button—the red 
button beneath the red cover on top of the V90S handset.

When sending a distress call, the DSC radio automatically transmits 
as much information as is available, including:

• 

The MMSI of the ship in distress; 

• 

The position of the ship in distress; (If the radio is connected to a 
GPS);

• 

The nature of the distress.

 

¼

Notes:

• 

Before the DSC functions can be used, you must enter a valid MMSI 
into the V90S radio. See “Entering or viewing your individual MMSI” 
on page 95
.

• 

If the small DSC icon is not displayed on the standby screen, 
DSC may have been turned off in settings. See “Enabling DSC 
functionality” on page 98.

Softkeys

A softkey is a name that appears at the bottom of the screen and 
provides additional functionality to the [SCAN] and/or [OK] and/or 
[3CH] buttons during DSC operations.

Dot symbols on the handset keys and just under the display screen 
indicate which keys correspond to the softkeys as follows:

• •

• • •

[SCAN] key

[OK] key

The following table shows the softkeys that occur in DSC mode.
