General usage
•
When an alert sounds, press the [SILENC] soft key to stop the
beeping sound.
•
When choosing a working channel, select INTER-SHIP; the radio will
automatically list suitable ship-to-ship (Simplex) channels that you
can use for a particular function. Duplex channels cannot usually
be called, however, if you wish to use a Duplex channel, select
MANUAL, and then select your channel of choice. If the call is to a
Coast Station the radio will recognize this and specify the correct
working channel.
•
After sending an LL request, the radio waits for 30 seconds for an
acknowledgement before prompting you to send again.
