Receiving a radio telephone call on channel 16

When you hear your call name in the loudspeaker, proceed as follows:

1. The symbol RX shows that the radio is receiving on the channel

displayed.

2. Lift the Handset or take another speaker device.

3. Press the PTT button. The symbol TX shows that the radio is

transmitting on the channel displayed.

4. Repeat the name of the station calling you and say: “This is [your ship’s

name]”.

5. Suggest a working channel other than 16 by saying: “Channel

[suggested channel number]”.

6. Say: “Over.” and release the PTT button to allow the caller to confirm

the suggested new channel.

Note

A single, short press on the 16/C key always brings you to

channel 16, the international calling and distress

before releasing the PTT button.
