2. Or, with the Directory Tab highlighted press the Arrow Keypad DOWN, highlight an empty field and
press ENTER/MARK to access the New Directory Item window.
The New Directory Item window allows the user to input information of a known contact.

1. Press UP/DOWN on the Arrow Keypad to highlight the MMSI, Name, or Comment field.

After creating a New Directory Item entry, the name created is attached to that particular MMSI
number. If the user returns to the Log, the new name is displayed under the corresponding MMSI
number. Another way to input a name is from the Entry Review Page or the DSC Distress Call or DSC
Position Report Pages. The Name field is only available in the GPS. Names cannot be sent like the
MMSI numbers to other DSC users.
DSC Setup
Garmin chartplotters have the ability to turn DSC ‘On’ or ‘Off’. This option is beneficial for us-
ers who have more than one GPS chartplotter. If the user wants only DSC to display on a particular
chartplotter, turn DSC off on the remaining Garmin chartplotters that support DSC.
