The radio cannot re-send a distress relay automatically. If required you can relay a distress relay
message manually.
If a distress relay is sent specifically to the radio then it can be acknowledged, otherwise
acknowledgement is not required.
Acknowledging a distress relay sent to your vessel
If a distress relay is specifically sent to your vessel this will be because the sender deems you to be
in a position to assist in the rescue. The distress relay information is displayed onscreen.
When a distress relay is received:
1. Select
Show info from the options to review the relevant details.
2. If the distress relay was sent individually to you, select Accept to send a distress relay
acknowledgement.
3. Ensure the radio is tuned to channel 16.
Note: Distress relay calls can only be acknowledged automatically when sent individually to you.
