DSC Directory
The DSC Directory acts like a phone book and can save up to 100 contacts. The
directory lists all contacts by name and MMSI number. Press ADJ/MENU from
this page to delete a highlighted entry or delete all entries.
To add a new directory item:
1. PresstheNew Itemsoftkey.TheDirectoryItemReviewwindowallows
youtoenterinformationofaknowncontact.
2. HighlighttheMMSI,Name,orCommenteld,andpressENTER.
3. PressupordownontheROCKERtoenterinformation,andpressENTER.
4.HighlightOK,andpressENTERtosavetheentry.
After creating a New Directory Item entry, the name created is attached to that
particular MMSI number. If you return to the log, the new name appears under
the corresponding MMSI number.
Another way to enter a name is from the Entry Review Page or the DSC Distress
Call or DSC Position Report pages. The Name eld is only available in the GPS.
Names cannot be sent like the MMSI numbers to other DSC users.
Setting Up DSC
Use the DSC Setup sub tab to turn DSC on and off. If you have more than one
chartplotter and you only want DSC to show on one chartplotter, turn off DSC on
all units but one.
You can use the Setup sub tab to simulate distress calls or position reports on this
page while the unit is in Simulator Mode (page 8). Press either the Sim Dstrs
Call or Sim Posn Rpt soft key to simulate a Distress Call or a Position Report.
This is helpful practice before connecting to the real system. The Distress Call
simulator also helps to determine whether alarms are working properly.
Using the NAV Key
If you receive a distress call or position report, you can quickly navigate to the
caller using the NAV key. When the call is logged, press NAV, and select Go To
<MMSI number> or Go To <Name>.
