7 CALL PROCEDURE D When no acknowledgement is received If no acknowledgement is received, the emergency alarm will sound continuously. In this case, the ICM802 automatically transmits the distress call again every 3.5 to 4.5 minutes. • Push [CANCEL/CALL] if you want to stop the alarm. •A distress relay call may be received after several minutes from another ship if an acknowledgement cannot be received from a coast station directly. CAUTION! DO NOT push [CANCEL/CALL] while waiting for an acknowledgement, otherwise the distress call repeat is cancelled. Push [CANCEL/CALL] only when you want to cancel repeated transmission. D After receiving an acknowledgement call The following should commence your voice transmission after receiving a distress acknowledgement from a coast station (or another ship). • "MAYDAY" • "This is ..... (your ship name)." • The 9-digit identity AND the call sign (or other identification of the ship) • The ship's position if the DSC distress does not included it. • The nature of the distress and assistance required. • Any other information which might facilitate the rescue. 20
