4.3.8 Distress Relay call
The Distress Relay facility enables an incoming Distress Alert
call to be passed onwards via boats within receiving distance of
the call, thus increasing the potential range of the Distress Alert
call.
If a Distress Relay call is received, the radio will sound an
incoming call alarm.
The display will flash between displaying “Distress Relay”
and the vessel’s MMSI (Fig 4.17) -

If the vessel’s MMSI is stored in the MMSI directory (see sec-
tion 5.2), then the display will show the name stored instead of
the MMSI number.
NOTE The MMSI / name displayed will be that of the vessel in
distress, not the vessel that relayed the call.
Press Ok to accept the call, automatically switch to channel 16
or On/C to reject the call.
