6.2 SENDING A DISTRESS CALL
The distress call automatically includes the vessel’s DSC MMSI and Lat/
Lon position. Refer to section 7.9 (USER MMSI INPUT). The vessel’s posi-
tion can be sent only if the transceiver is properly connected to an operating
GPS receiver.

the DISTRESS key. The “DISTRESS” icon will appear
on the LCD.
2. Press and hold the DISTRESS key. The LCD will count
down (3, 2, 1) following this the QUEST will transmit the Distress Call.
3. When the distress signal is sent, “TX” icon will appear
on the LCD. After the message has been sent, the Dis-
tress Alarm will sound.
4. The transceiver “shadow-watches” for a transmission
between CH16 and CH70 until an acknowledgment sig-
nal is received. “RECEIVED ACK” will scroll on the LCD.
5. If no acknowledgment is received, the distress call is
repeated in 3.5 to 4.5 minute intervals until an acknowl-
edgment is received.
6. To cancel a Distress Call
1) Press the 16/9 key
2) Press the WX key
3) Turn off the radio
4) Press the DISTRESS key, then press the UP or
DOWN key until “CANCEL” is shown on the LCD.

alarm sounds and channel 16 is automatically selected.

sition is automatically transmitted with the distress call.
