Suppression ferrites Multiple antenna installations • Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or supplied with suppression ferrites. These are important for correct EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you must fit the supplied ferrites, using the supplied instructions. Important additional considerations when installing multiple antennas. • If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g.
• Transmitting products that send wireless signals in the same frequency range. • Other electrical, electronic or electromagnetic equipment that may generate interference. Interference from other people’s wireless devices can also cause interference with your products. You can use a third-party wireless analyzer tool / smartphone app to assess the best wireless channel to use (e.g. a channel not in use or one used by the least number of devices).

7.1 Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Traditional VHF radio systems require users to listen until someone speaks, and then determine whether the call is for them. DSC ensures that calls are received by alerting or announcing the intended recipient(s) first so they are ready to listen to the subsequent message on the relevant channel.
Making a Distress call 3. Release the PTT button. In an emergency you can make an automatic DSC distress call. Making a Mayday call The DISTRESS button is located on the rear of the handset. In an emergency you can also make a Mayday call following the instructions below. Cancelling a distress call after transmission A distress call can be cancelled after it has been transmitted. 1. Press the 16 PLUS button. 2. Press and hold the PTT button. 3.
Example: “All, Stations, All Stations, All Stations. This is: NAME, CALL SIGN, MMSI ID, POSITION. Cancel my distress alert of: DATE, TIME, NAME, CALL SIGN” The details of the distress call are recorded in the distress log and the envelope icon will flash to let you know a message has been received. When connected to a Raymarine® multifunction display (MFD) the position data from the distress call can also be displayed in the Chart application.
Acknowledging a distress relay sent to your vessel If a distress relay is specifically sent to your vessel this will be because the sender deems you to be in a position to assist in the rescue. The distress relay information is displayed onscreen. When a distress relay is received: 1. Select Show info from the options to review the relevant details. 2. If the distress relay was sent individually to you, select Accept to send a distress relay acknowledgement. 3. Ensure the radio is tuned to channel 16.
