Open the RED Distress cover door. 2. Press and release the DISTRESS key. If time permits, use the SELECT knob to select the Nature of Distress. A cursor moves down the list. Press the ENTER knob to select. Otherwise, hold the red button until the DISTRESS is sent (about 3 seconds). You may release the red button anytime to reset the countdown timer. NATURE OF DISTRESS DISTRESS TIMER COUNTDOWN DISTRESS SENT The various NATURE OF DISTRESS categories are: • UNDESIGNATED • FIRE • FLOODING • COLLISION • GROUNDING • LISTING • SINKING • ADRIFT • ADBANDONING • PIRACY • MAN IN WATER • EPRIB • EXIT? 3. After the Nature of Distress is entered, continuously HOLD DOWN the key for 3 seconds to advance the DSC Emergency transmission cycle. A count down timer is sequenced in the LCD and BEEP2 is emitted every second. Releasing the key stops & resets the timer. To cancel this mode, press EXITor the CH16 key. DISTRES CALL >UNDEFINED FIRE FLOODING DISTRES CALL >UNDEFINED HOLD DISTRES 3 SECONDS.. DISTRES CALL SENT! WAIT.. PRESS CANCEL TO CANCEL...
24 The Distress call is now sent 5 times continuously with the preamble dot pattern in front of each string. The whole display FLASHES and BEEPS very loudly. If Channel 70 is BUSY, the radio transmits anyway and the cycle is repeated randomly every 3.5 – 4.5 minutes until an acknowledgement is received or the mode is manually cancelled. The Tx and Hi annunciators turn ON during Tx on CH70. After Tx the channel reverts to CH16 and high power. Your transceiver is automatically set to Channel 16 in order to listen for, and respond to, voice replies from SAR authorities or other vessels that may have received your distress call. The Automatic re-transmission mode is entered. The alarm sounds every 2 minutes to remind you that a distress message is active. Press EXIT to cancel this mode. This is the only key that functions at this time. Re-transmissions of DSC distress calls are canceled automatically when a DSC acknowledgment is received from an authorized SAR coast station, or canceled manually by you. SENDING A CALL TO CANCEL A TRANSMITTED DISTRESS CALL From the Distress Cancellation Screen, cancel the Distress Call by pressing the Channel/Select key. The text area of the display reconfigures to have the user confirm the distress cancellation. Select "YES" and push distress key to transmit a call to cancel the transmitted distress call. Select "NO" and press Channel/Select button to abort cancellation. Once cancellation has been confirmed, the radio returns to normal VHF operation on channel 16 with high power selected. RECEIVING DISTRESS CALLS The NC392/363 receives 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. There is no automatically reply/relay to distress or ACK or relay DSC calls. RECEIVING A DISTRESS CALL FROM ANOTHER VESSEL When a distress call is received, the NC392/363 automatically tunes to channel 16, and the Distress Alarm Tone sounds. Pressing any key disables the alarm. When position data and time is included within the signal, it is displayed in the Text Area of the LCD. If invalid GPS or Time data is received, the Lat/Lon position shows ‘9’ in all digits and the time shows all ‘8’s. The 2 alternating pages of data are recorded in the DISTRESS CALL LOG. Make VOICE contact on CH16. ALTERNATING DISTRESS! ID123456789 99º99. X 999º99. Y DISTRESS! ID123456789 PIRACY 12:45PM LOC
25 RECEIVING A DISTRESS ACK SENT FROM A COAST STATION When a DISTRESS ACK is received from a Coast Station (Coast Guard or Search & Rescue), an alarm sounds and the following screen appears in the display. The NAME/ID on page#1 is the ID of the vessel sending the message. The NAME/ID on page#2 is the ID of the Vessel in Distress. Maintain a listening watch on CH16 and standby to lend assistance. ALTERNATING DISTRESS ACK BY COAST STATION P#1 DISTRESS ACK BY COAST STATION P#2 RECEIVING A DISTRESS RELAY SENT BY ANOTHER VESSEL When a DISTRESS RELAY is received from another Vessel, an alarm sounds and the following screen appears in the display. The screen displays the local time of distress, the MMSID of the vessel sending the relay message and Lat/Lon coordinates of the vessel in distress. The NAME/ID on page#1 is the ID of the vessel sending the message. The NAME/ID on page#2 is the ID of the Vessel in Distress. Your vessel does not re-send a distress relay message. Maintain a listening watch on CH16 and standby to lend assistance. ALTERNATING DISTRESS RELAY BY DISTRESS RELAY BY ANOTHER VESSEL P#1 ANOTHER VESSEL P#2 DISTRESS ACK ID123456789 99º99. X 999º99.
