you can set the priority channel to cover both CH16 and CH09 as well as the working channel,
as follows:

Section 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls
These DSC facilities are available only on the VHF 7100US and
VHF 7100EU models, and a valid user MMSID must have been
entered to access the DSC functions.
5-1 WHAT IS DSC?
DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF
radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International Maritime
Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System).
Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace
listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent
maritime safety information.
DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped with
DSC functionality, and within geographic range. Calls can be categorised as distress, urgency,
safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.
5-2 Sending DSC calls

Appendix B - Troubleshooting
1. The transceiver will not power up.
A fuse may have blown OR there is no voltage getting to the transceiver.
a) Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections.
b) After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse (2 spare fuses are supplied).
c) Check the battery voltage. This must be greater than 10.5V.
2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on.
The power wires may have been reversed.
a) Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery terminal, and the black wire
is connected to the negative battery terminal.
3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the engine is running.
Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver.
a) Re-route the power cables away from the engine.
b) Add a noise suppressor to the power cable.
c) Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine filter.
4. No sound from the external speaker.
a) Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected.
b) Check the soldering of the external speaker cable.
5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (HI) power is selected.
The antenna may be faulty.
a) Test the transceiver with a different antenna.
b) Have the antenna checked out.
6. Battery symbol is displayed.
The power supply is too low or too high.
a) Check the battery voltage. This should be at least 10.5V ± 0.5V DC.
b) Check the alternator on the vessel.
7. No position information is displayed.
The GPS cable may faulty or the GPS setting may be incorrect.
a) Check that the GPS cable is physically connected.
b) Check the polarity of the GPS cable.
c) Check the baud rate setting of the GPS if applicable. The baud rate setting should be
4800 and parity should be set to NONE.

Appendix D - MMSID and License Information
VHF 7100 only
You must obtain a user MMSID (Marine Mobile Service Identity) and enter it into your 7100 in
order to use the DSC functions. Contact the appropriate authorities in your country. If you are
unsure who to contact, consult your Navman dealer.
The user MMSID is a unique nine digit number, similar to a personal telephone number. It is
used on marine transceivers that are capable of using DSC (Digital Select Calling).
Depending upon your location, you may need a radio station license for the VHF 7100. You may
also need an individual operator’s license.
Navman NZ recommends that you check the requirements of your national radio
communications authorities before operating DSC functions.
