2.7 Making a Distress Alert call

WARNING This call should only be made if the vessel is in a
genuine distress situation. It is an offense to send
a Distress Alert call if the vessel or crew are not in
grave and imminent danger (see section 5.1).
The DISTRESS button is located under a protective cover that
must be slid back before the button can be pressed. Press the
DISTRESS button to access the Distress Alert screen:
