D

Receiving an individual call

When receiving an individual call, an acknowledgement is
transmitted automatically.  The contents of the acknowledge-
ment must be specified in advance. Refer to p. 19 for setting.

Two messages can be selected for acknowledgement:

• “Able to comply”:

You can communicate with the calling vessel via the mic
after a DSC connection.

• “Unable to comply”:

You cannot communicate with the calling vessel after a
DSC connection 

(e.g. operator leaves transceiver).

D

Receiving an all ships call

While monitoring channel 70 and an all ships call is received:

➥

Beeps or emergency alarm
sound.

• Beeps sound when received call

contains the urgency routine
(general all ships call). 

• Emergency alarm sounds when

received call contains the safety
or distress category.

➥

“RCV” and “ALL” appear in the display; then, the channel
specified by calling station is automatically selected for
voice communications.

➥

Monitor the selected channel for an announcement from
the calling station.
