•A distress relay call may be received after several
minutes from another ship if an acknowledgement
cannot be received from a coast station directly.
CAUTION!
DO NOT push [CANCEL/CALL] while waiting for an
acknowledgement, otherwise the distress call repeat
is cancelled.
Push [CANCEL/CALL] only when you want to can-
cel repeated transmission.
