An alert message appears, and an alarm sounds (if enabled) when a distress call is received. The alarm sounds only for a distress call; position reports do not sound an alarm. Distress calls are broadcasted to all DSC users in radio range and appear with a blue and white checkered icon on the DSC tab's Call List and Log sub tabs. You can enter a caller's name, if it is known. The caller's name replaces the MMSI number as a reference, when entered. 1. From the DSC tab, highlight the Call List or Log sub tab. Press up or down on the ROCKER to highlight the call you want to review. Press ENTER. To review a call or log entry: Review DSC Waypoint The Review DSC Waypoint Page operates similarly to the Distress Page and Position Report Page. From this page you can also delete the displayed call. On the DSC Review Waypoint Page, press the Delete soft key to delete the entry, or press the Create Wpt soft key to create a waypoint. Understanding Position Reports The position report operates similarly to the distress call. This type of contact is like a phone call; no emergency alarms are set off, and the call is specific to the receiver. Position reports are not broadcasted to all DSC users and appear with a gold boat icon. Call List Sub Tab The Call List sub tab shows the 100 most recent calls, even if the unit is left unattended. You can select any entry from the Call List to show an Entry Review. Log Sub Tab When DSC calls are received, they are automatically stored in the log, with the latest call at the top. The unit can store up to 100 calls; after 100 calls are received, the oldest is removed when a new call is received. The Call List and Log sub tabs both show the call type, date/time, position, and MMSI/Name. Pressing the Sort By (Call) Type, Sort By Time, Sort By Name, Delete (only after highlighting a particular call), and Delete All soft keys allows you to sort and delete calls.
