2.7 Call a Group of Ships
To call a group of ship stations, enter the Group Call menu (1.3) and follow the instructions.
Have the group MMSI number (0*) ready if it is not available via the contact list.
2.8 Create Emergency Calls
In the category of emergency calls (1.4) you will find the
following menu:
Emergency 1 . 4
2 Compose U rgency
5 Compose Distress A c k
3 Compose Sa f ety
4 Compose R elays
1 Compose Distress
Transmitting any of these calls should be done with
caution. Please make yourself familiar to the common
procedures for using these calls.
Selecting any of the call types will lead to a call establishing flow with maximum flexibility.
You should make yourself familiar with the flow sequences, but be sure you do not actually
send the message by mistake. In other words, never press
to the transmit
verification window if you do not actually intend to send an emergency call.
Distress calls are always transmitted pushing the DISTRESS button for 5 seconds. After you
have transmitted a distress call the VHF is in distress state (distress call is re-transmitted
once each 3½-4½ minutes). The distress state can only be exited by reception of the
appropriate distress acknowledgement call or if you press
for 5 seconds, or if you
power off the VHF. The VHF will start up in distress state after a power failure.
2.9 DSC Call Log
Received and transmitted DSC messages can be found
with details in the DSC Logs (1.5). A special log contains
distress related calls. The call log system will store the
last (20) calls sorted by date and time.
DSC Logs 1 . 5
2 DSC R ecei v e Log
3 DSC Transmit
1 DSC Distress Log
Each of the logs and each of the calls within the logs
have their own possible actions upon selection
(e.g. printing).
2.10 Entering Your Position into the System
Ship’s position and the time for that position are essential to the success of a possible
rescue operation. This information is namely automatically added to a DSC Distress call sent
from your VHF. Therefore it is important to always keep this information updated.
Normally a GPS is connected to the VHF. In case of correct installation this will assure the
position and time to be updated correct.
If your VHF is not connected to an external GPS system, or a malfunction of the GPS
connection is detected by the VHF, the VHF will automatically prompt you for updating your
position manually 1 minute after power-up and then every 4 hours. The position and time can
always be entered on your initiative via the Set Position & Time selection in the Settings
menu (4.1.1).
