Pausing a Distress Alert
After a distress alert is transmitted, the distress alert is repeated every 4 minutes
until the call is canceled by the user or until the radio is turned off and on again.
The transceiver has provision to suspend (pause) the re-transmitting of the
distress call by the procedure below.
1. After the distress call is transmitted, the radio will
show the display as on the right.
Looking at this display you will notice "TX IN:
02:25", this is the time when the radio will re-trans-
mit the distress call.
2. To suspend re-transmitting the distress call, press
the [PAUSE] soft key.
3. To resume counting down to transmit the distress
call, press the [RESUME] soft key.
Canceling a DSC Distress Alert
If a distress alert was sent by error the transceiver allows you to send a message
to other vessels to cancel the distress alert that was made.
1. Press the [CANCEL] soft key, then press the
[YES] soft key.
2. After the message for cancelling has been trans-
mitted, press the [OK] soft key.
3. Press the [FINISH] soft key.
4. Press the [QUIT] soft key to return to radio opera-
tion.
