Make A Routine Call Manually (Indiv Reply); Retrying A Routine Call - Navman VHF 7000 Owner's Manual

5.2.1 MAKE A ROUTINE CALL MANUALLY (INDIV REPLY)

If you chose to respond manually to individual calls when you set up your
DSC options (see Section 3.5), you must enter the caller's MMSID or select the
buddy name, and then specify the calling channel.
1. When the incoming call is complete, press CALL MENU to enter DSC mode,
then select INDIVIDUAL.
2. If the caller is not in your buddy list, select MANUAL MMSID and then enter
the MMSID of the caller along the dashed line.
If the caller is in your buddy list, just scroll down the list of buddies and
select that buddy.
3. Now specify the calling channel using the + and - key and monitor that
channel briefly to ensure that it is clear before you transmit. (This is an FCC
requirement.) If it is busy, select a different calling channel.
NOTE: If the call is from a coast station, the VHF 7100 will recognise this
and automatically specify a channel.
4. The VHF 7100 summarises the call data and asks if it should send the call
(SEND?). Press ENT to send the call and CALLING appears on the LCD.
5. If the call is acknowledged (ACKNOWLEDGED), press to talk when invited
(PRESS PTT TO TALK).
6. If there is no reply (UNABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE), retry the call (see Section
5.2.2).
