IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and

the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Channel 16.

DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

1. "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY."

2. "THIS IS

.................. " (name of vessel)

3. Your call sign or other indication of the ves-

sel.

4. "LOCATED AT ............... " (your position)

5. The nature of the distress and assistance

required.

6. Any other information which might facilitate

the rescue.

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH

WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operat-

ing. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys, switches and control-

lers may become unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or

the charging terminals of the battery pack may rust.

NOTE: If the transceiver's waterproof protection appears de-

fective, carefully clean it with a soft, wet (fresh water) cloth,

then, dry it before operating. The transceiver may lose its

waterproof protection if the case or jack cover is cracked or

broken, or the transceiver has been dropped.
