7.3 Receiving Distress Calls
Your MT-500 transceiver may intercept distress messages sent by another
vessel and/or acknowledgments (ACK) sent by a coast station to another
vessel in distress. In such cases you should maintain a listening watch on
channel 16 and standby to lend assistance. Your MT-500 does not automati-
cally reply to, or relay, distress or ACK or relay DSC calls.

If your MT-500 transceiver intercepts a distress call from another vessel, an
