enter the MMSI number you want to call. Enter the MMSI number the same way you 

enter directory entries (see page 22). Enter all nine digits and press 

. 

4.  The radio displays the MMSI number you are about to contact and asks you to confirm. If 

you want to transmit your position to the displayed MMSI number, select Send. To cancel 

the transmission, select Cancel. 

5.  The radio transmits your MMSI number, your longitude, and your latitude to the other 

station.

If you are leaving your radio or do not wish to answer any DSC calls, you can put your radio 

in standby mode. If your radio receives an individual call, it will automatically respond with a 

message that indicates your radio is currently unattended. Follow the steps below to put 

your radio in standby:  

1.  Display the Call menu. 

2.  Select Standby to place your radio in standby mode. The radio displays the standby 

screen, above. 

3.  To cancel standby and return to the mode your radio was in, press any button. 

If you are involved in a bridge-to-bridge call, you may not want the radio to automatically 

switch channels when it receives a DSC call. In cases like this, you can disable automatic 

channel switching. If you receive an individual call, the radio will respond with an 

unattended code, just as if the radio were in Standby. 

1.  Press and hold 

 to display the normal menu. 

2.  Select Setup and then Auto CH SW. 

3.  Choose Off and press 

. The radio will not automatically switch channels until 

you reactivate this feature.

If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays a message icon. You will be able 

to review who has called. The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 20 non-

distress calls it received (see the receive log on page 27). 

If you discover that a marine radio channel has a different common name in your local area, 

you can change the name of that channel to make it easier for you to use (see the channel 

lists beginning on page 

 for the default channel names). To rename a channel, follow the
