BOAC,
I am afraid that the manufacturers terminology is at odds with ICAO approach terminology. The DH setting gives you a minimums callout based on radalt, and the MDA gives you a callout based on Baro. Unfortunately that terminology then is at odds with a Cat 1 decision which should be called a DA, but uses the MDA setting as it is with reference to baro alt.
