To cancel or acknowledge a call, the O
AHS82 handset must be used.
Normally current position data is supplied to the radio either
automatically via an interfaced navigational receiver, or by
manually entering a position. Note, the displays are only available
if one handset connected to the radio is an AHS82.
The display will show "POS 4 HRS" and there will be an audi-
ble alarm beep –
– 30 minutes after switch on, if no NMEA position data has
been received, or none has been manually entered, and
every hour thereafter; or
– 4 hours after NMEA has been lost, or the manual position
was entered for the last time, and every hour thereafter.
Press the O /C key to clear the display.
