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.

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.

1.3 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 five seconds

after message is received.

1.3.2 DSC operational overview

Preparing and transmitting DSC messages

There are two methods by which you can prepare and transmit DSC messages,

and they are shown below.

● Preparing message for immediate transmission

1. Press the CALL key at the standby display.

2. Select the call type.

3. Select other party if necessary.

4. Select the communications category.

5. Select the communications channel.

6. Press the CALL key.

● Transmitting a message stored in the memory

100 messages can be saved to the memory. You may open a memory-stored

message and transmit it.

Distress alert transmission and output power

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.

The message AUTO ACK or MANUAL ACK appears at the bottom of the

standby display with each press of the keys.

Note 1: To give priority to own ship's communications while own ship is

communicating, show MANUAL ACK by the above procedure.

Note 2: Automatic acknowledge is not possible under the following conditions:

1.4 Priority

If one or more remote stations are installed, the transceiver unit (main unit) has

the highest priority. You can interrupt remote station operation at any time with

the handset of the main unit. When you hook off the handset of the main unit,

“OCCUPIED FM8800” is indicated on all remote stations.

Each remote station has its own priority. The remote station ID (1-4) indicates its

priority. The priority of the system is as follows.

DSC of main unit > Wing handset > Handset of main unit > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4

If you hook off No.4 remote station, for example, “Occupied Handset.4” is

displayed on other remote stations. However, you can hook off and use No.1

handset.

How to set priority of the remote station

Two persons are required to set priority on a remote station, one at the main unit

and one at the remote station.

1. Turn off the power at the main unit.

2. While pressing the MENU key of a remote station, turn the VOLUME/

POWER control clockwise on the main unit to turn on the power.

2.5 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 A1

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 follow the 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”.
