Calling a particular group of stations (Group Call)
Group calling calls all the stations that share your group MMSI. You must have a group MMSI
programmed into the radio to make a group call, and the stations (boats) you are calling must
have this same group MMSI programmed into their radios.
1. Press CALL-MENU to display the call menu.
2. Select Group.
3. The radio prompts you to select a response channel. Use CHANNEL UP and CHAN-
NEL DOWN to scroll through the available channels. When you reach the channel you
want to use for a response, press ENT-1W/25W.

es to the designated response channel.

Making an automatic distress call
If you have programmed your MMSI number, your radio can transmit an automated distress
call with your current location and nature of the distress. The radio then monitors the chan-
nel 16 for a response and repeats the distress call every few minutes until it receives an
acknowledgement.
To send an automatic distress call, press and hold DISTRESS for three seconds. If
no MMSI number has been programmed, the radio prompts you to enter your MMSI
number.
If you want to include the nature of your distress in the distress call, use the following distress
procedure:
1. Press DISTRESS.
2. The radio displays the list of distress conditions; use CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL
DOWN to choose the nature of your distress, then press and hold DISTRESS for three
seconds.
