Calling a particular group of stations (Group Call)

programmed into the radio to make a group call, and the stations (boats) you are calling 

must have this same group MMSI programmed into their radios.

Calling all stations (All-Ships Call)
All ships calling contacts all DSC radios within range of your boat. You should only use all 

ships calling in the event of a Safety warning (such as debris in the water) or to request 

assistance in an Urgency (any situation where your vessel has a serious problem but is not 

yet in distress). 

1.  Open the call menu. 

2.  Select All Ships, and then choose whether this is an Urgency call or a Safety call.

Cancel to cancel the call. 

4.  The radio automatically switches to channel 70 to transmit the call request then 

automatically switches to channel 16, the designated response channel for all-ships 

calling. 

If you have programmed your MMSI number, your radio can transmit an automated distress 

call with your current location and nature of the distress. The radio then monitors the 

channel 16 for a response and repeats the distress call every few minutes until it receives an 

acknowledgement. 
To send an automatic distress call, press and hold DISTRESS for three seconds. If 
no MMSI number has been programmed, the radio prompts you to enter your MMSI 
number.

distress procedure:
