It is a good idea to write out a script of the message form and post it where you

Marine Distress Procedure – DSC
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated system that will allow you to press
the Distress button from any routine to make a distress call. When the distress button
is pressed, all other channels go to Standby mode and allow the digitally encoded "pre-
programmed" message to take precedence. Important information such as your MMSI
number, position and name will be transmitted on Channel 16. The distress alarm will
sound for two (2) minutes or until the alarm is cleared.

Coast Guard as well as to other vessels that are within range of the transmission. DSC
