When the radio picks up an incoming distress acknowledgement:

1.The radio beeps loudly for two minutes, to alert you to the incoming distress acknowledgement, the working channel changes automatically to CH16. Press any key except ESC OR 16/9 to stop the beeps.

At the same time, the LCD screen displays the distress acknowledgement and the MMSI (or buddy name) of the vessel sending it. After one second, the LCD screen changes to show the MMSI and position of the distressed vessel, including the type of distress call.

2.Press <ESC or 16/9 to cancel the LCD screen cycle, then press PTT to try and establish voice contact with the coast guard or press <ESC again to maintain a listening watch on CH16.
