7.4.2 RECEIVING AN ALL SHIPS CALL

1. When an All Ships Call is received, an emergency alarm sounds.
The radio will automatically change to Channel 16. The
display shows the MMSI of the vessel transmitting the
All Ships Call.
2. Press any key to stop the alarm.
3. Monitor channel 16 or traffic channel until the URGENCY voice communi-
cation is completed.

7.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the HX850S to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communica-
tions channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on Channel 16 and
requesting to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private be-
tween the two stations).

7.5.1 SETTING UP THE INDIVIDUAL / POSITION CALL DIRECTORY

The HX850S has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person's
name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit
Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions. The
HX850S can memorize up to 24 stations.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
