Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
A user also has the ability to simulate a Distress Call or a Position Report on this page. This is help-
ful for practice before connecting to the real system. The Distress Call simulator also helps to check if
alarms are working properly.
To run a simulation:
1. Place the chartplotter into simulation (see pg. 7).
2. From the Main Menu, select the DSC tab, then highlight the Setup tab.
3. Highlight which simulation you wish to run and press ENTER/MARK.
Using the NAV Button
The receiver of a Distress Call or Position Report can quickly navigate to the caller using the NAV
button. Once the call is logged the user presses the NAV button and selects to Go To the MMSI number
or the Name of the caller.
