DISTRESS ALERT
How to send distress alert
Below is the procedure for transmitting a distress alert via radiotelephone. Transmit the distress
alert when a life-endangering situation occurs on your vessel.
1. Open the DISTRESS key cover then press the DISTRESS key for four seconds. The following
screen appears.
2. When the message "Sending DISTRESS ALERT." appears on the screen, release the DIS-
TRESS key. The audio alarm sounds for two seconds.
After the distress alert has been sent, the following screens appear in order.
3. The audio alarm sounds. Press the CANCEL key to silence the audio alarm.
4. Communicate with the coast station via radiotelephone as below.
a) Say “MAYDAY” three times.
b) Say “This is ...” name of your ship and call sign three times.
c) Give nature of distress and assistance needed.
d) Give description of your ship (type, color, number of persons onboard, etc.).
Note: If you do not receive the distress alert acknowledge call, the equipment automatically re-
transmits the distress alert after 3 min 30 seconds to 4 min 30 seconds. Then awaits the distress
alert acknowledge call. This is repeated until the distress alert is acknowledged.
