• You have not received a distress acknowledge call from a coast station within five
minutes after receiving a distress call.
• You have not received a distress relay from other ship.
• You cannot receive distress communications from other ship over radiotele-
phone.
• The ship relaying the distress alert should establish communications with the sta-
tion controlling the distress as directed and render such assistance as required
and appropriate.
• If it is clear the ship or persons in distress are not near your ship and/or other ves-
sels are better placed to assist, superfluous communications which could interfere
with search and rescue activities should be avoided. Details should be recorded in
the log.
• When the received distress frequency is different from the current communication
frequency, do the following:
1. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [CHANGE] then push the knob.
2. Rotate the ENTER knob to select the frequency same as the received distress
one then push the knob.

4.4 How to Receive Distress Relay from Coast Sta-
tion
Your ship receives the distress relay when:
• The coast station sends the distress relay to your ship (DISTRESS RELAY INDI-
VIDUAL).
• The coast station sends the distress relay to the area where you are navigating
(DISTRESS RELAY AREA).
When you receive a distress relay message from a coast station, continue monitoring
distress and safety frequencies. The audio alarm sounds and the LED flashes in red.
The icon ( ) appears in the tab area and the pop-up message appears on the
screen.

If you receive a DISTRESS RELAY INDIVIDUAL call with the different frequency from
the transceiver unit, for example, the following message appears on the screen.
Rotate the ENTER knob to select [Agree] then push the knob. The radiotelephone au-
tomatically sets working frequency.
If you change the communication frequency, do the following:
