2. When the distress signal is sent, the transceiver watches
for a transmission on CH70 until an acknowledgment signal
is received.
3. If no acknowledgment is received, the distress call is
repeated in 4 minute intervals until a DSC acknowledgment
is received.
4. When a DSC distress acknowledgment is received, a
distress alarm sounds and Channel 16 is automatically
selected. The display shows the MMSI of the ship respond-
ing to your distress.
5. Press the PTT button and state your name, vessel name,
number of persons on board and the distress situation, then
say “over” and wait for a reply from the acknowledging ship.
6. To turn off the distress alarm before the radio retransmits the distress call,
