Sending your own position (Position Send)
If your radio is connected to a GPS receiver, you can send your boat’s position to someone
else. If you are requesting assistance or using an all ships call to give a safety warning, you
can send your current position so other stations know where you are:
1. Press CALL-MENU to display the call menu.
2. Select Position Send.
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 ENT-1W/25W . 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 19). Enter all nine digits and press ENT-1W/25W .
4. The radio displays the MMSI number you are about to contact and asks you to confirm. If
you want to transmit your position to the displayed MMSI number, select Send. To cancel
the transmission, select Cancel.
5. The radio transmits your MMSI number, your longitude, and your latitude to the other
station.
Putting the radio into standby
If you are leaving your radio or do not wish to answer any DSC calls, you can put your radio
in standby mode. If your radio receives an individual call, it will automatically respond with a
message that indicates your radio is currently unattended. Follow the steps below to put
your radio in standby:
1. Display the Call menu.
2. Select Standby to place your radio in standby mode. The radio displays the standby
screen, above.
3. To cancel standby and return to the mode your radio was in, press any button.
Disabling automatic channel switching
If you are involved in a bridge-to-bridge call, you may not want the radio to automatically
switch channels when it receives a DSC call. In cases like this, you can disable automatic
channel switching. If you receive an individual call, the radio will respond with an
unattended code, just as if the radio were in Standby.
1. Press and hold CALL-MENU to display the normal menu.
2. Select Setup and then Auto CH SW.
3. Choose Off and press ENT-1W/25W . The radio will not automatically switch channels until
you reactivate this feature.
