DISTRESS

Note: You must set the user MMSI in
order to send a Distress call.
Please see page 40 to set the
MMSI.
This feature will allow you to transmit a Distress call.
1. In order to transmit a Distress call,
press and hold DISTRESS for 5
seconds.
2. The Distress call is transmitted and it
waits for about 210 - 270 seconds.
This is continued internally.
After the Distress call has been sent,
the Distress alert will sound every other
second, and it also "shadow-watches"
for a transmission between CH16 and
CH70 until an acknowledgment signal
is received from the Coast Guard shore
station.
3. To cancel the Distress call, press
16/9/TRI.
4. When the radio receives a Distress call,
the following screen appears. If an
acknowledgment is not received, the
Distress call is repeated until an
acknowledgment is received from the
Coast Guard shore station.
Note: If the radio receives a Distress call,
it will be displayed on the LCD display. An emergency alert
will sound. The name will be displayed if it is the name
registered in the directory. Otherwise, sender's MMSI is
displayed. Latitude, longitude, and time information will also
be displayed if the GPS module is carried in the vessel that
transmitted a DSC Distress call.
