MANAGING DSC SETTINGS

Even though you can change your DSC settings, as needed, you will probably want to
establish initial settings.
1. Press the MENU button, select the DSC SETUP menu and
press SELECT. The DSC SETUP menu appears.
2. From here, you can use the PUSH/SEL knob and ▲ or ▼
buttons to access and customize DSC settings for your
radio:
x RADIO MMSI NUMBER – Displays your MMSI number.
x CURRENT POSITION – Displays your current position. You can set your current
position manually, but manual information will be overwritten by GPS data if
available.
x INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORY – Manages individual MMSI numbers for making calls.
x GROUP DIRECTORY – Manage MMSI groups for making calls.
x INDIVIDUAL REPLY – Select AUTO or MANUAL for replies to calls.The screen
displays:
– Individual Call ACK
– Position Request ACK
– Test Call Ack
x INDIVIDUAL ACK – Select AUTO or MANUAL request acknowledgements.
Note: Automatic acknowledgement automatically transmit your current position in response
to position requests. Most boaters activate automatic position reply for safety reasons
or because they subscribe to a marine towing service. Sometimes—for example, in some
competitive situations—you may not want other ships to get your position without your
manual confirmation.

15 sec, or 1 or 2 minutes.

30, or 45 sec, or 1, 2, or 5 minutes.

30 sec, or 1, 2, 3, or 5 minutes.

requests.
