RD68 VHF

E03912 Issue 2.0

To send the call, press and hold the DISTRESS key for ﬁve

seconds. A countdown to the transmission will be displayed.

Release the key at any time during this countdown to abort the

transmission and press C to return to the main menu.

The Distress Alert transmission contains the following data:

• The vessel’s MMSI

• The vessel’s position (either from the NMEA 0183 input, or

manually entered)

• The time (from NMEA or manual)

• The nature of the distress

Note If the boat’s position and time are not being received via the

NMEA interface, then the display will allow this data to be

entered manually (refer to section 3.2 for more details).

After the Distress Alert has been sent, the RD68 will tune to

channel 16 and will automatically repeat the alert approximately

every four minutes, until either an acknowledgment is received

or C is pressed (it is not recommended that the Distress Alert is

cancelled manually by pressing C, unless you are requested to

do so by the rescue authorities).

While the Distress Alert remains active, an intermittent alarm

will continue to sound.

When an acknowledgment is received from the Rescue Co-

ordination Center, this will automatically cancel the Distress

Alert transmission. The subsequent rescue co-ordination will be

performed using the voice working channel.
