DISTRESS button.

MAKING A DISTRESS CALL

Lift the red cover. Press and hold the DISTRESS button for three seconds.

Your radio transmits your boat’s location every few minutes until you receive

a response.

NOTE: If the radio displays Enter User MMSI, cancel the auto-

matic distress call and make a normal voice distress call.

Making a Voice Distress Call

Speak slowly - clearly - calmly.

For future reference, write your boat’s name & call sign here:

1. Make sure your radio is on.

2. On the microphone, press the 16/9-TRI button to switch to Channel 16 (156.8 MHz).

(If the corner of the display does not show “16”, press the 16/9-TRI button again until it

does.)

3. Press the PUSH TO TALK button on the microphone and say: “MAYDAY -- MAYDAY

-- MAYDAY.”

4. Say “THIS IS {name of your boat} (three times) and {call sign/boat registration number}

(once).”

5. Repeat “MAYDAY {name of your boat}” (once).

6. Tell where you are: (what navigational aids or landmarks are near, or read the latitude

and longitude from your GPS).

7. State the nature of your distress (e.g. are you sinking, medical emergency, man over-

board,onre,adrift,etc.).

8. State the type of assistance you need (medical, towing, pumps, etc.).

9. Give number of persons aboard and conditions of any injured persons.

10. Estimate present seaworthiness of your ship (e.g. how immediate is the danger due to

oodingorreorproximitytoshore).

11. Brieydescribeyourship,givingshipname(e.g.“BlueDuckis32footcabincruiser,

white hull, blue deck house”).

12. Say: “I WILL BE LISTENING ON CHANNEL 16”.

13. End message by saying “THIS IS {name or call sign of your boat}, OVER.”

14. Release the PUSH TO TALK button and listen.

If you do not get an answer after 30 seconds, repeat your call, beginning at step 3,

above.

Normal mode with Weather Alert Watch

If you activate Weather Alert Watch while

operating in normal mode, the radio checks

the most recently-used weather channel

every seven seconds. If it detects a weather

alert for your area, it will change the channel to the last-used

weather channel. The radio will not check the weather chan-

You can save channels into memory

and then use scan mode to monitor

those channels. When the radio detects

a signal on a channel, it pauses on that

channel as long as the signal is received;
