9.3.6 Distress Alert call
If a Distress Alert call is received, the radio will sound an
incoming call alarm. The display will flash between “DISTRESS
ALERT” and the caller’s MMSI number along with the nature
of the Distress Alert.
If the caller’s MMSI number is stored in the MMSI directory
(see section 10.2), the display will show the name stored
instead of the MMSI number (Fig 9.16).
Press OK to accept the call and automatically switch to channel
16, or O
N/C to reject the call. Full details of the Distress Alert
may be viewed in the call log (see section 9.4).
NOTE Distress Alert calls always use channel 16 as the working
channel.
