5-2-1 Make a Routine Call (Individual)
You can call any other person that has another DSC equipped radio.
1. Press CALL/MENU to enter DSC mode, then select INDIVIDUAL. This allows you to call another
person.
2. Select MANUAL NEW to call a person that is not in your buddy list, otherwise select the name of
your buddy. Press ENT.
If you selected MANUAL NEW, you need to enter the user MMSI and then press ENT.
3. Select the working channel and press ENT. (Note: Duplex channels cannot usually be called and are
automatically eliminated from the suggested call list. If the call is to a Coast Station, the radio will
recognize this and select the correct channel.)
4. The radio summarizes the call details and asks for conrmation to send the call (SEND?). Press ENT
to send the call. The radio goes to CH70 and the TX annunciator is displayed on the screen while
the DSC call is being sent.
5. If the call is acknowledged (ACK), press PTT to talk. If there is no reply, retry making the call. See
Section 5-2-2.
5-2-2 Retrying a Routine Call
1. If there is no reply to your call after one minute (UNABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE)
the radio asks if you want to retry the call (SEND AGAIN?).
2. Select YES and press ENT to retry the call.
The radio will repeat this cycle twice. If the call still cannot be placed, the
radio returns to normal operation.
5-2-3 Acknowledgement of an Individual Incoming Call (INDIV)
The RS10E requires the operator to manually send an acknowledgement to the
requesting radio.
Press ENT to send an acknowledgement or ESC to cancel.
The RS10U will automatically send an acknowledgement to the requesting radio
within 10 seconds of receiving the call.
Note: For some Countries in Europe it is possible to select ROUTINE, SAFETY, URGENCY, and
DISTRESS as the call category for Individual call transmissions.
