1. DSC SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1
What is DSC?
DSC is an acronym meaning Digital Selective Calling. It is a digital distress and general calling
system in the MF, HF and VHF bands used by ships for transmitting distress alerts and general
calls and by coast stations for transmitting the associated acknowledgements.
For DSC distress and safety calling in the MF and HF bands the frequencies are (kHz) 2187.5,
4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577.0, and 16804.5.
The DSC-60 is a combination MF/HF DSC Terminal and Watch Receiver. Connected to an SSB
radiotelephone, the DSC-60 sends and receives calls via the SSB radiotelephone. The built-in
remote control permits control of a FURUNO radiotelephone from the DSC-60.

DSC Call
DSC calls are roughly divided in two categories: distress and safety calls, and routine calls.
Below are the types of DSC calls and the pages on which their descriptions and procedures
appear.
• All Ships (page 4-1)
• Distress (page 3-1)
• Distress Relay (page 3-7 - 3-20)
• Geographic Area (page 4-21)
• Group (page 4-18)
• Individual (page 4-4)
• Medical Transport (page 4-27)
• Neutral Craft (4-25)
• Polling (page 4-29)

coast station) assign the frequency to use.
Position
Position can be automatically or manually input.
DSC frequency
DSC frequency to use. If the order of communications priority is SAFETY, URGENCY and
DISTRESS, select a DSC distress frequency.
End code
The end of a DSC message is denoted by ACK RQ (Acknowledge Request), ACK BQ

1.2.1
Distress alert call and reply
This type of call is sent by own ship in the event of distress, by pressing the [DISTRESS] button
more than three seconds as follows:
1. The LED in the button initially flashes, and lights when the button is pressed more than three
seconds. (If the button is pressed less than three seconds the distress alert is not sent. Once
the alert is sent it cannot be cancelled.)
2. The DSC-60 sets the DSC distress frequency on the SSB radiotelephone and it transmits the
distress alert.
3. After the distress alert is transmitted (about 40 seconds) the DSC-60 waits for the DIST ACK
call from a coast station. This usually takes less than 3 minutes and is accompanied with an
audio alarm. (If it is not received within 4.5 minutes the distress alert is re-transmitted.)
4. The SSB sets the DSC distress frequency to use to communicate with the coast station. With
the optional handset you can communicate through the DSC-60.

The individual call is for sending a call to a specific station.

Basic procedure
1. Prepare message and transmit it by pressing the [CALL] key. The DSC-60 then awaits
acknowledgement of the call.
2. Receive acknowledge back (ACK BQ) signal from receiving station (coast station or ship
station) within about five minutes. The audio alarm sounds at this time; press the [CANCEL]
key to silence it.
3. After receiving ACK BQ signal, communicate with coast station; the FURUNO SSB
radiotelephone sets the working frequency and class of emission specified by your ship.
1.3
Audio Alarms
When you receive a distress alert or routine call addressed to your ship the audio and visual
alarms are released. For the distress or urgent call, the audio alarm sounds until the [CANCEL]
key is pressed. For other calls, the audio alarm sounds for one second and then automatically
goes off.
The tone of the alarm depends on the call received. By becoming accustomed to the tone you
can know which type of call you have received.

Remote Control and Automatic Acknowledge
1.4.1
Remote control
The DSC-60 and a FURUNO SSB radiotelephone communicate with each other by means of the
MIF (FURUNO Radio Interface) data format, a unique handshaking type signal exchange system
developed by FURUNO. The DSC-60 can also communicate with other makes of
radiotelephones which incorporate data format IEC-61162-1. The remote control feature allows
the DSC-60 to automatically set the DSC and working frequencies and class of emission on a
FURUNO SSB radiotelephone.
1.4.2
Automatic acknowledge
The automatic acknowledge feature, when turned on, automatically transmits the acknowledge
back signal to the sender when an individual, PSTN, position or polling call is received. With the
automatic acknowledge feature turned on the remote control is also turned on.
Automatic acknowledge is alternately enabled or disabled with the [5/ACK] key.
1.4.3

3. DISTRESS OPERATIONS
3.1
Sending Distress Alert
3.1.1
Sending distress alert by DISTRESS button
GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the event of a life
endangering situation onboard ship. A coast station receives the distress alert and sends the
distress alert acknowledge message to the ship in distress. Then, voice communications
between the ship in distress and coast station begins, via the radiotelephone.
Transmission of the distress alert and receiving of distress alert acknowledgement are
completely automatic - simply press the [DISTRESS] button to initiate the sequence.
1. Open the DISTRESS button cover and press and hold down the [DISTRESS] button more
than three seconds. The button flashes in red and the buzzer sounds rapidly. The display
shows the contents of the distress alert call: your ship’s nature of distress and position, time,
and DSC frequency used to transmit the alert.
The number of seconds to continue pressing the [DISTRESS] button appear at the bottom of
the display. The buzzer sounds continuously when the button has been pressed three
seconds. You can release the button at that time.

receives the distress acknowledge message from a coast station.) The timer counts down
the number of minutes to wait, from 3.5 to 4.5 minutes, randomly set.
At this time the DSC-60 cannot receive any messages except the distress alert acknowledge
message. Distress message is recorded in the Tx log.
