■ Procedure ■

The screen as shown at right is displayed.

 To disable the receiving alerts for routine and
safety calls, set 1. Safety/Routine RX ALM to
OFF.
 The receiving alerts condition of distress alerts or distress relay calls can be changed
using the menu 2. Distress RX ALM as follows.
- Normally when receiving a new distress event, the receiving alert has to be stopped
manually. However if the ship in distress is located within 70 degree north and 70
degree south latitude, and farther than the Maximum distance value while the Self-
terminating set is ON, the alert is treated as the self-terminating alert.
- The Maximum distance can be set within the range of 500 to 999 NM.
Note1) If making this value valid, always set the Self-terminating to ON.
Note2) If receiving DSC messages from the ships located out of range, the messages
are handled normally except the alert sound.
5.5.4 Using medical/neutral settings for urgency calls
Set the condition so that an urgency area call containing the additional subject of either "Medical
transportation" or "Neutral nationality" can be sent. It is useful for the situation when sailing
dangerous waters such as in areas of political instability, and needed to inform receivers of the
additional information if any of the following apply.
- Own ship is performing medical transportation and protected under the 1949 Geneva Convention.
- Own ship is of neutral nationality in accordance with ITU resolution 18 (Mob-83).
Additionally note that this setting is returned to the default (OFF) if the power is turned off.
■ Procedure ■
To use these kinds of calls, set 4. Medical use or 5. Neutral use condition to ON.
