When an acknowledgement is received from the Rescue Co-

ordination Centre, this will automatically cancel the Distress

Alert transmission. The subsequent rescue co-ordination will be

performed using the voice channel (Ch 16).

WARNING If a DSC distress alert is sent accidentally, cancel it immedi-

ately on the RS82 by pressing the O

N/C button to prevent

repeats, then make the following announcement on Ch 16:

“This is (name of vessel, call sign, MMSI)”

“Cancel DSC Alert sent (date & time/UTC)”

DO NOT simply cancel the DSC alert without verbally can-

celling it as well, otherwise the rescue authorities will not be

aware that this is a false alarm.

9.3 Receiving a call

9.3.1 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 number and the speciﬁed

working channel (Fig 9.11).

If the caller’s MMSI is stored in the MMSI directory (see sec-

tion 10.2), the display will show the name stored instead of the

MMSI. Press O

K to accept the call, or ON/C to reject it.

If the call has been accepted, the display will show “SEND

ACKNOWLEDG”. Press O

K to send a call acknowledgement

and automatically switch to the speciﬁed working channel.
