Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
67
The Ray49 automatically detects the correct procedures for you based on the type
of MMSI number you enter manually or with or the phonebook. If “00” is
detected as the first two characters of the MMSI, Coast Station procedures are
implemented automatically.
Note:
When making a call to a coast station, you will not be asked to select a working
channel because that will be provided by the coast station.
Transmitting an Individual Call
To make an Individual Call to a ship or coast station, you must select the specific
MMSI number to contact and the working channel to be used for the call. The
MMSI ID can be entered manually or selected from a Phonebook list of
preprogrammed numbers specified using the MENU function, as follows:
1. From the DSC menu, rotate the
CH/OK

VIDUAL.
2. Press
CH/OK
. The Individual Routine menu appears, which displays any
Phonebook entries you have saved and <MANUAL> for manual number
entry.
3. Rotate the
CH/OK
knob until the arrow points to the desired individual name.
If using MANUAL MMSI ID entry:
Enter the MMSI number using the
CH/OK
knob. Rotate
CH/OK

character and then press in to accept. The next position to be modified is indi-
cated by a blinking underline. A more-detailed description of manual charac-
ter entry can be found in
