When the radio picks up an incoming distress relay:
1.The radio beeps loudly to alert you to the incoming distress relay and the working channel changes automatically to CH16. Press any key except PTT or <ESC if you want to stop the beeps.
At the same time, the LCD screen displays the BUSY symbol, the MMSID (or buddy name) of the distressed vessel and the type of distress. After one second, the LCD screen changes to show the position of the distressed vessel and the time of the distress transmission. After another second, the LCD screen changes again to show the MMSID (or buddy name) of the vessel relaying the distress call.
These three screens cycle once every second.
If the position of the distressed vessel's isn't specified, a series of dashed lines are shown instead.
2.Press PTT to try and establish voice contact with the distressed vessel or press <ESC to maintain a listening watch on CH16.
The details of the incoming distress relay are stored in the distress log. If the distress log is full, the oldest entry is automatically deleted.
