Countdown message
When the countdown shows 0S, the distress alert is sent. The audio alarm sounds for two
seconds and the message “Sending DISTRESS ALERT.” appears. The screen shows the
contents of the distress alert call. The
DISTRESS key lights in red and only the icon for
DISTRESS transmitting ( ) is displayed on the tab area.
After the distress alert has been sent, the screen changes as below. Wait to receive the
distress acknowledge call from a coast station. When waiting the distress acknowledge,
the elapsed time is displayed. At this time, the icons for other DSC received messages
except the distress alert acknowledge call are not displayed. You can only confirm them
in the log.

Note: If you do not receive the distress alert acknowledge call, the equipment
automatically re-transmits the distress alert and then awaits the distress alert
acknowledge call. This is repeated until the distress alert is acknowledged.
You can temporarily stop the countdown for next retransmission with selecting PAUSE in the
user options. PAUSE indication changes to START and PAUSE is displayed instead of the
countdown indication. When you select START, the countdown restarts and START
indication in the user options changes to PAUSE.
Also, you can re-send the distress alert manually with pressing the
DISTRESS key for four
seconds on the screen for waiting for DISTRESS ACK.
