The NAUTICAST is fitted with Safety Keys, which allow the user to automatically send
urgent messages without the necessity of navigating the Menus.
The SRM Button sends out Broadcast Safety Related Messages to all ships in the Vessel
Listing. The MOB Button sends out precise position of incident to Addressed Vessels,
therefore allowing the message to be sent to a vessel closest to accident location.
