To acknowledge own distress
When the SAILOR 6215 VHF DSC receives an
acknowledgement of distress from another vessel or
station, a 2-tone alarm sounds. The display shows
the MMSI number of the station who sent the
distress acknowledgement call, the status and the
time passed since the distress acknowledgement
arrived (format: mm:ss).
• Press SILENT to only switch off the 2-tone alarm. A press on any other key
also switches off the 2-tone alarm.
• Press the soft key INFO to display further data for this call.
• Press the soft key OK to view the status of this
distress call.
If the same Distress call comes in more than once,
the 2-tone alarm sounds briefly and terminates
automatically.
