Receiving An Individual Call - Standard Horizon Eclipse DSC+ GX1100E Owner's Manual

9.5.5 Receiving an Individual Call

When receiving an individual call, an acknowledgment must be sent back to the
calling station. The GX1100E default setting is Automatic, but has a selection that
allows you to manually send a reply before the radio will switch to the requested
calling channel. This selection is useful if you want to see who is calling and
requesting you to switch to a channel for communications, similar to caller id on a
cellular phone.
1. When an individual call is received, an individual call ringing alarm sounds.
The display will show the MMSI (or name) of the
vessel transmitting the Individual Call and the ra-
dio automatically switches to the requested chan-
nel.
2. Press any key to stop the alarm.
3. Press the [ CLR ( WX )] key to show the display to
the operating channel number of the requested
channel.
4. Press the PTT switch on the microphone and talk to the calling ship.
