829WHEN RECEIVING A CALL78 To receive a DSC callThe independent built-in DSC receiver circuit in the IC-M801E scans all distress/safety frequencies, therefore,the “distress,” “urgency” and “safety” calls on those fre-quencies can be decoded at all times.However, “routine” and “group” calls on the other fre-quencies are received via the transceiver’s receivercircuit. Therefore, the transceiver must set to DSCwatch mode by pushing [DSC] to decode these calls.• Monitoring the traffic frequencyMonitor the communication between the calling shipand a coast station, or the calling station transmissionvia voice on the traffic frequency.• Emergency alarm sounds until pushing some key, orbeeps sound, depending on the calling format or cat-egory.• Transmit an acknowledgementWhen the following DSC is received, an acknowl-edgement must be sent back to the calling station.• Beeps, or an emergency alarm sounds until pushingsome key, depending on the category.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** I n d i v i d u a l ** I C O M M 8 0 1 ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *T r a f f i cE x i t* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** D i s t r e s s R L Y ** 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *T r a f f i cE x i t* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** D i s t r e s s ** 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *T r a f f i cE x i t* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** G r o u p ** I C O M M 8 0 2 ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *T r a f f i cE x i t* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** G e o g r a p h i c ** 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *T r a f f i cE x i t* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** G e o g r a p h i c ** 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *T r a f f i cE x i tDD When receiving a DSC callOne of the following actions should be performedwhen a DSC call is received depending on the re-ceived DSC format (or category):• Wait for a voice transmission on the traffic frequency.• Transmit an acknowledgement with DSC or voice.DD Display example and operation
