Enabling Automatic Position Reply

If you want the radio to automatically transmit your current position whenever it receives

a position request, you can enable automatic position reply. Most boaters activate

automatic position reply for safety reasons or because they subscribe to a marine

towing service. Sometimes—for example, in some competitive situations--you may not

want other stations to get your position without your manual confirmation

1. Press and hold

MENU/CALL

to display the Call menu.

2. Select DSC Setup and then POS Reply.
3. Choose Auto and press

ENTER-H/M/L

. The radio will automatically transmit your

position when it receives a position request.

4. To disable automatic position reply, repeat the steps above and select Manual.

POS Request

Any time you need to know where another boat currently is—to find your boating

partners, to respond to a request for assistance, etc.—you can send a position request

to their radio:

1. Press and hold

MENU/CALL

to display the Call menu.

2. Select POS Request and press

ENTER-H/M/L.

3. The radio displays the names listed in your directory; use

CHANNEL UP

and

CHANNEL DOWN

to choose the directory entry you want to contact and press

ENTER-H/M/L

. If you want to contact a station that is not in your directory, select

Manual. The radio prompts you to enter the MMSI number you want to call. Enter

the MMSI number the same way you enter directory entries (see page

22). Enter

all nine digits and press

ENTER-H/M/L
