When the optional MA-500TR/MA-510TR* CLASS B AIS
TRANSPONDER is connected to your transceiver, an indi-
vidual DSC call can be transmitted to a selected AIS target,
without needing to enter the target’s MMSI code. In this case,
the call type is automatically set to Routine.
See page 85 for connecting instructions.
* Unreleased as of April 2020.
To ensure correct operation of the DSC function, make
sure you correctly set the CH70 SQL LEVEL. (p. 67)
Step 1: Transponder’s operation
NOTE:
This instruction is for the MA-500TR. See the MA-
510TR Instruction manual for the MA-510TR’s step.
q
Select a desired AIS target on the plotter, target list or dan-
ger list display.
• You can also go to the next step whenever the detail screen of
the AIS target is displayed.
• Make sure the transceiver is in the normal operating mode. Oth-
erwise, you cannot make an individual DSC call using the tran-
sponder.
w
Push [DSC] to display the voice channel selection screen,
and then push [
Y
] or [
Z
] to select a desired voice channel*.
• Voice channels are already preset into the transponder in recom-
mended order.
* When a coast station is selected in step
q
, a voice channel will
be specified by the coast station, therefore you cannot change
the channel. The transponder will display “Voice Channel is
specified by the Base station,” in this case.
e
Push [DSC] to make an individual DSC call to the AIS tar-
get.
• If Channel 70 is busy, the transceiver stands by until the channel
becomes clear.

play “DSC Transmission FAILED.”
