12.3 DISTRESS ALERT

The

GX1150

is capable of transmitting and receiving DSC Distress messages

to all DSC radios. The

GX1150

may be connected to a GPS to also transmit the

Latitude and Longitude of the vessel.

NOTE

If a GPS with NMEA output is not connected to the radio, the

GX1150

will

beep 10 minutes after the radio is turned on. After that the

GX1150

will

beep every 4 hours alerting to connect a GPS.

12.3.1 Transmitting a Distress Alert

NOTE

To be able to transmit a Distress Alert an MMSI number must be pro-
grammed, refer to section “

12.2.2 Programming the MMSI

.”

In order for your vessels location to be transmitted either connect a GPS to the

GX1150

(refer to section “

9.4 ACCESSORY CABLE

”) or manually input your po-

sition (refer to section “

12.11 MANUAL INPUTTING OF THE GPS LOCATION

”).

1. Lift the red spring loaded DISTRESS cover, then

press and hold the [

DISTRESS

] key. The “

DIS-

TRESS

” menu will appear on the LCD and the ra-

dios display will count down (

) and

then transmit the Distress Alert. The backlight of
the LCD and keypad flashes while the radios dis-
play is countdown.

2. The

GX1150

watches for an acknowledgment call

on channel 70 or a voice call on channel 16 from
another vessel.

3. If an vessel responds to you on channel 16, pick

up the mic and advise your distress situation.

4. When a DSC Distress acknowledgment is received

on channel 70, a DSC Distress Alarm sounds and
channel 16 is automatically selected. Pick up the
mic and advise your distress situation. The LCD
shows the MMSI of the ship responding to your distress.
RECEIVED ACK:

acknowledgment signal is received.

RECEIVED RLY ACK: relay acknowledgment signal is received from another

vessel or coast station.

5. If no acknowledgment is received, the Distress Alert is repeated at approxi-

mately 4 minute intervals until a DSC acknowledgment is received.

6. To cancel the DSC Distress Alarm signal from the speaker, press any key.
