Distress Alert call
If a Distress Alert call is received, the radio will sound an
incoming call alarm.
The display will flash between displaying “Distress Alert” and
the caller’s MMSI along with the nature of the distress alert.
If the caller’s MMSI is stored in the MMSI directory (see section
5.2), then the display will show the name stored instead of the
MMSI number (Fig 4.15) -
