76 Ray218 and Ray55 Marine VHF Radios
Note:
The AUTO CH CHG option determines whether you want your radio automatically
switched to channel 16 to receive the call or instead to be prompted to manually receive or
decline the channel change. See page 96.
Receiving a Distress Relay Sent by Another Station
When a Distress Relay is received, an alarm sounds, the envelope icon blinks and
the LCD displays two alternating screens. The first page displays the Name/MMSI
ID of the station sending the message. Page 2 displays the Name/MMSI ID of the
vessel in distress and its lat/lon position. Your radio does not re-send a distress
relay message.
5.3 DSC Phonebook
The Phonebook stores up to 50 preprogrammed MMSI numbers that you can
select for making an Individual Call. The numbers are stored by name and contain
the station’s MMSI number. You can add, edit and delete entries from the
Phonebook, much as you would on a cellular telephone. Rotate the
CH/OK
knob
to make an item appear on the dot matrix display and then press in
CH/OK
to
select that item.
