DSC Directory
The DSC Directory acts like a phone book and can save up to 100 contacts. The
directory lists all contacts by name and MMSI number. Press
ADJ
from this page
to delete a highlighted entry or delete all entries.
To add a new directory item:
1. Press the
New Item
soft key. The Directory Item Review window allows
you to enter information of a known contact.
2. Highlight the
MMSI
,
Name
, or
Comment
field, and press
ENTER
.
3. Press up or down on the
ROCKER
to enter information, and press
ENTER
.
4. Press the
OK
soft key to save the entry.
After creating a New Directory Item entry, the name created is attached to that
particular MMSI number. If you return to the log, the new name appears under
the corresponding MMSI number.
Another way to enter a name is from the Entry Review Page or the DSC Distress
Call or DSC Position Report pages. The Name field is only available in the GPS.
Names cannot be sent like the MMSI numbers to other DSC users.
Setting Up DSC
Use the DSC Setup sub tab to turn DSC on and off. If you have more than one
chartplotter and you only want DSC to show on one chartplotter, turn off DSC on
all units but one.
You can use the
Setup
sub tab to simulate distress calls or position reports on this
page while the unit is in Simulator Mode (page
). Press either the
Sim Dstrs
Call
or
Sim Posn Rpt
soft key to simulate a Distress Call or a Position Report.
This is helpful practice before connecting to the real system. The Distress Call
simulator also helps to determine whether alarms are working properly.

NAV
key. When the call is logged, press
NAV
, and select
