RECEIVING A CALL,
INFO
For calls requiring acknowledgement, please refer to page 2-47.
An incoming call will be displayed immediately if the equipment is in the MAIN-MENU or STATUS
states. From other states the display returns to the last received RX-CALL instead of STATUS display
if a call has been received.
The visual and audible indicators will signal that a call has been received. The visual indicator remains
activated until the call has been read out.
If the call does not contain mode information ACCEPT is omitted.
If SET UP is entered the mode and frequency of the transceiver is set as indicated in the call.
END should be entered when communication is completed. The display returns to STATUS or to
RX-CALL if not all received calls have been read out and scanning is resumed on the transceiver if so
selected.
All-ships, Group and Area calls, not having Distress or Urgency catagory, are considered obsolete
when 5 minutes have passed since the reception of the call. The call is then treated as ’read-out’.
