7.7.5 Receiving an Individual Call
When receiving an individual call, an acknowledgment must be sent back to
the calling station. The MATRIX default setting is Automatic, but has a selec-
tion that allows you to manually send a reply before the radio will switch to the
requested calling channel. This selection is useful if you want to see who is
calling and requesting you to switch to a channel for communications, similar
to caller id on a cellular phone.
1. When an individual call is received, an individual
call ringing alarm sounds.
The radio automatically (automatic mode selected)
switches to the requested channel.
2. Press any key to stop the alarm.
3. Press the PTT on the mic and talk to the calling
ship.
4. Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to see the MMSI of the vessel calling.
7.7.6 Setting Up the Call Waiting Function
Allows the MATRIX to be setup to reply (ABLE) or set the radio so it trans-
mits a call that advises to the vessel the person is UNABLE to reply to the
call at this time. This function is similar to a answering machine. When set
up in UNABLE and a individual call is received the Individual call from the
other vessel is logged in the CALL WAITING directory for you to review and
call back at a later time.
