Acknowledging a distress relay sent to your vessel

If a distress relay is specifically sent to your vessel this will be because the sender deems you to be in a position to assist in the rescue. The distress relay information is displayed onscreen.

When a distress relay is received:

  1. Select Show info from the options to review the relevant details.
  2. If the distress relay was sent individually to you, select Accept to send a distress relay acknowledgement.
  3. Ensure the radio is tuned to channel 16.
Note

Distress relay calls can only be acknowledged automatically when sent individually to you.
