Receiving Distress Calls
When a vessel is within range of a DSC Distress call, the radio receives the call,
sounds the Distress alarm, and switches to Channel 16. All DSC calls that are received
will sound one (1) alert alarm. See pages 10-13 for descriptions of the different
alarms. Press any button to turn Off the alarm. The received call information continues
to display on the LCD.
When A Distress Call Is Received:
1. Press any button to turn Off the alarm.
2. Read and write down the distress information that
displays on the LCD (position data may or may not be
shown); then determine whether to answer the call.
3. Respond, if appropriate, by pressing and holding the Talk
button to transmit on Channel 16.
4.
The received information is placed into the Call Log.
See page 62 for more information on viewing the Call
Waiting Log.

contact from the Individual Directory entry stored in your
radio, the name identication displays and the alarm

Standby mode.
