Remarks on transmitting

• Before transmitting, think about the subjects which have to be communicated
and, if necessary, prepare written notes to avoid unnecessary interruptions
and ensure that no valuable time is wasted on a busy channel.

• Listen before commencing to transmit to make certain that the channel is not
already in use.

1.2.6 Selecting output power

After pressing the SHIFT key, each press of the 0 HI/LO key selects high or low
output power. Also Hi or Lo appears on the screen depending on your selection.

The transmitter power is automatically set for low on the following channels:

International: CH15, CH17, CH75, CH76

USA: CH13, CH17, CH67, CH77; to operate USA channel 13 or 67 in

high power, keep HI/LOW key pressed while talking into the
handset.

1.2.7 Turning the loudspeaker on/off

To turn the loudspeaker on/off, press the SHIFT key, then the 1 key. The
loudspeaker off mark appears when the speaker is off. The loudspeaker is
automatically turned off when the handset is used.

1. OPERATI ON AL OVERVIEW

1.2.8 Quick selection of CH16

Press the CH16 key to select CH16, the International Calling and Safety
Channel. The use is limited to distress, safety and calling. The transmission on
CH16 (156.800 MHz) should be limited to within 1 minute except for distress
calling.

Avoid calling on CH16 for purposes other than distress, urgency and very brief
safety Communications when another calling channel is available.

1.2.9 Dual watch

The dual watch function permits watch on CH16 and another selected channel.
CH16 and another channel are watched at intervals of 0.15 seconds and one
second, respectively.

To start dual watch, first select the other frequency to watch and then press the
SHIFT key and 9 DW key in that order. When the receiver finds a signal on
CH16, it locks on it and restarts dual watching after the signal on CH16 has gone.
If another channel has traffic, it still continues dual watch. The speech is heard
intermittently. If you are annoyed with the intermittence, turn off the dual watch
by pressing the PTT switch on the handset or pressing the SHIFT and 9 DW key
again.

1.2.10 Scanning

The receiver scans all channels at intervals of 0.15 seconds in the selected
channel mode in ascending channel order, watching CH16 between channels as
below:

1 ->16 ->2 ->16 ->3 ->16 ->4...

16 <-88 <-16 <-87 <-16 <-86 <-16...

To start scanning, press the SHIFT and 8 SCAN in that order. When the receiver
finds a signal, scanning is stopped on that channel and starts dual watch on it
and CH16.

To turn off the scanning, press the PTT switch or press the SHIFT and 8 SCAN
key.

1.2.11 Remarks on voice Communications

Automatic acknowledge (DSC operation) is automatically changed to manual
acknowledge when voice Communications begin. (The “auto” indication, however,
remains on the screen.) This is done to prevent a break in Communications.
Automatic acknowledge is automatically restored once voice Communications
are terminated.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

1.3 DSC Operational OverView

Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is the global calling system adopted by the ITU-R
and IMO for selective calling of coast station and ship radio stations. The DSC
system is used for both safety and routine calling. The GMDSS requires the use
of DSC for distress alerting and safety calls.

1.3.1 LED warnings

The LED below the DISTRESS key lights continuously when the distress signal
is transmitted.

The ALARM LED blinks in red (and alarm sounds) when a distress or urgent
message is received. The LED can be extinguished and alarm silenced by
pressing the CANCEL key.

The ALARM LED blinks in green (and alarm sounds) when a message other
than distress or urgent is received. Alarm is automatically silenced two minutes
after message is received.

When the distress alert is transmitted (by pressing the DISTRESS key), the
output power of the FM-8800D/S is automatically set to maximum (25 W).

When keyboard input is prohibited

DSC-related Controls cannot be operated while a DSC message is being
transmitted. (These Controls are inoperative about 3 seconds during a DSC
distress call; 0.5 seconds for other DSC calls.)

1.3.3 Automatic acknowledge on/off

The automatic acknowledge feature of the DSC/watch receiver automatically
transmits the acknowledge back (ACK BQ) signal to the sending station when an
individual, position or polling call is received. (For position and polling calls,
respective item on the AUTO ACK menu must be turned on to enable automatic
acknowledge.) Automatic acknowledge can be turned on or off at the standby
display by pressing the SHIFT and 5 keys in this order.

2. DSC DISTRESS COMMUNICATION

Receiving Distress Alert from Other Vessel,
Transmitting DIST ACK Signal

In no case is a ship permitted to transmit a DSC distress relay call upon receipt
of a DSC distress alert on VHF channel 70.

Procedure when in area Al

1. When the FM-8800D/8800S receives a distress alert from another vessel, the
ALARM LED (red) blinks and the FM-8800D/8800S sounds the distress
alarm.

2. Silence the alarm by pressing the CANCEL key.

3. Wait up to five minutes until the DIST ACK signal from a coast station is
received. Be prepared to followthe instructions of the coast station.

4. If you do not receive the DIST ACK signal, follow the flow chart shown on
page 2-8 to determine if your vessel should acknowledge a distress alert.

If further DSC alerts are received from the same source and the ship in distress
is beyond doubt in the vicinity, a DSC acknowledgement may, after consultation
with an Rescue Co-ordination Center (RCC) or Coast Station, be sent to
terminate the distress call.

Note 1:An asterisk (*) in a received distress alert message indicates error or
unknown at the location marked with the asterisk.

Note 2: Do not send DIST ACK in response to receipt of distress alert having the
nature of distress as “EPIRB emission”.
