5.2.8 CALL USING THE DISTRESS LOG (DISTRES LOG)
The Distress Log contains the contact details for the 10 most recently received
distress calls, so that you can call any of them quickly. Always try to make voice
contact on CH16 first, as follows:
1. Press CALL MENU to enter DSC mode, then select DISTRES LOG.
2. Scroll down to the distress call entry that you want to call.
The VHF 7100 displays the details for the most recently received distress
call as the first entry (01) in the distress log.
The details are displayed over two screens that alternate every 1.5 seconds;
the first screen shows the user MMSID and location, and the second screen
shows the user MMSID and the nature and time of the emergency (if
specified).
3. Set the channel and continue as explained in Section 5.2.1.
