IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Channel 16.
RECOMMENDATION
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH
WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before opera-
tion. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys, switches and control-
lers may become unusable due to salt crystallization.
NOTE: DO NOT wash the transceiver in water if there is any
reason to suspect the waterproof protection may not be ef-
fective. For example, in cases where the battery pack rubber
seal is damaged, the transceiver/battery pack is cracked or
broken, or has been dropped, or when the battery pack is
detached from the transceiver.
