Chapter 4: To use Distress and SSA buttons
66 To send a Distress Alert (SAILOR 6150 only)
For information on how to send a Distress message, see Write a Distress
priority message on page 25.
The MRCC may also send Distress EGCs to other ships in the area to request
assistance (typically as Distress Relay or SAR Coordination request).
See also Set up Distress alert on page 25.
To clear Distress indications
If you want to turn off all Distress indications while a Distress Alert is still
active, you can use easyMail: Select Distress > Reset alarm/Latest
Distress info. For details, see Reset alarm/latest Distress info on page 27.
The MRCC normally sends a message to the alerting unit to
gather more information about the situation.
If possible, respond to such messages with a Distress
message sent to the same LES that was used for the Distress
Alert.
This function will only turn off the visual and audible indications
on board. It will not cancel the transmission of the Distress Alert.
