With the Voice Distress feature you can make Distress and Urgency calls using the
FleetBroadband service.
The Voice Distress system includes a FleetBroadband system, a SAILOR 3771 Alarm Panel and
a Thrane IP Handset.
To make a Distress call: Push and hold the red button on the alarm panel for 5 seconds.
When the Distress IP Handset rings, pick up the phone. You are now put through to the nearest
rescue centre. Follow the procedure for Voice Distress calls.
For details on the Voice Distress system and how to make a Distress call, see the Voice Distress
(Non-SOLAS) User manual, 98-133687.
Your airtime subscription must include Voice Distress and
your FleetBroadband system must be set up for Voice
Distress to be able to use this feature. See Voice Distress on
page 117.
The software version of the Thrane IP Handset used for
Distress must be at least version 1.12, in order to support
the Voice Distress function.
