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.

To cancel the Distress call, press

16/9/TRI.

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.
