Receiving a Distress Call
When a DSC Distress call is received, the radio automatically enters DSC
mode if you are currently on a selected working channel or private channel,
in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode. You will not receive a DSC
call if the radio is transmitting or receiving a non-DSC call.
1. When receiving a calling signal, the unit sounds the DSC tone and
enters the DSC mode. A "d" flashes in the small channel display for
Distress.
2. Press the DSC/PRI key. The radio accepts the call, silences the alarm,
and switches to channel 16.
Note: When a Distress Call is received, the unit emits a VERY LOUD
distress alarm tone. Pressing the DSC/PRI key mutes this alarm but does
NOT cancel the Distress Call.
3. Because it is Class "D" DSC compliant, the RAY215E can receive a
DSC Distress Call but cannot acknowledge or relay the call. After the
Distress Call is received, attempt to contact the vessel in distress on
channel 16 and render assistance.
