Log File; Opening A Log File - Furuno FS-1570 Operator's Manual

5.10 Log File

Three log files are provided for storage of calls: received ordinary log, received distress log
and transmitted log. Each log file stores 50 calls, on a first-in, first-out basis. This means
that the latest call is saved as log no.1 and the log no. of all previous calls in that log
increments by one. When the storage capacity is exceeded, the oldest call is deleted to
make room for the latest. An asterisk (*) marks unread or unacknowledged calls. Received
distress calls are automatically deleted 48 hours after being read.
