Another boat may send an LL polling request
to ask for your boat's position. You can choose
to respond to an LL polling request in one of
three ways:
• AUTO will automatically send your boat's
position in response to any incoming LL
polling requests from your buddies.
• MANUAL means that you choose whether
or not to reply to any incoming LL polling
requests.
• OFF ignores all LL polling requests.

It is not possible to have both of DSC and ATIS

ON, the other will turn OFF. If they are both
OFF, you must set DSC FUNC to ON to get DSC
functionality.
SPECIAL NOTE:
The DSC or ATIS annunciator in the LCD will
illuminate if DSC or ATIS is fully operational.
WARNING!
You can turn OFF the
DSC functions, but this
is not recommended
because you won’t be
able to automatically
transmit coded
information about
your boat to the
GMDSS in a distress
situation.
