E04819 Issue 1.0
When an acknowledgment is received from the rescue co-
ordination center, this will automatically cancel the Distress
Alert transmission. The subsequent rescue co-ordination will be
performed using the voice working channel (Ch16).
Warning If a DSC Distress Alert is sent accidentally, cancel
it immediately on the RS86/RS87 by pressing the
O
N/C button to prevent repeats, then make the
following announcement on channel 16:
“This is (name of vessel, callsign, MMSI)”
“Cancel DSC Alert sent (date & time UTC) – Over.”
Do not simply cancel the DSC alert without ver-
bally canceling it as well, otherwise the rescue
authorities will not be aware that this is a false
alarm.
4.3 Receiving a call
4.3.1 Individual routine call
If an individual routine call is received, the radio will sound an
incoming call alarm. The display will flash between displaying
“CALL FROM”, the caller’s MMSI, and the specified working
channel (Fig 4.11). If the caller’s MMSI is stored in the MMSI
directory (see section 5.2), then the display will show the name
stored instead of the MMSI number.
