4.1 How to Send Distress Alert
GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the
event of a life-endangering situation. A coast station receives the distress alert and
sends the distress alert acknowledge call to the ship in distress. Then, voice or telex
communication between the ship in distress and coast station begins. Transmission
of the distress alert and receiving of the distress alert acknowledgement are complete-
ly automatic - simply press the DISTRESS key to initiate the sequence.
There are three types of distress alerts; MULTI, SINGLE, AUTO. MULTI is used nor-
mally. To use another method, see step 10 in paragraph 4.1.2.
Note: After sending the distress alert, no control unit has priority.
