DISTRESS Note: You must set the user MMSI in order to send a Distress call. Please see page 20 to set the MMSI. This feature will allow you to transmit a Distress call. 1. In order to transmit a Distress call, press and hold DISTRESS for 5 seconds. When DSC appears on the display, press SELECT to send the Distress call. 2. The Distress call is transmitted and it waits for about 210 - 270 seconds for an acknowledgement from the Coast Guard before the Distress call is resent. After the Distress call has been sent, the Distress alert will sound every other second. The radio will automatically change to channel 16, and it also watches channel 70 in the background until an acknowledgement signal is received from the Coast Guard shore station. To cancel the Distress call, press 16/9. 3. If an acknowledgment is not received, the Distress call is repeated until an acknowledgment is received from the Coast Guard shore station. 16
