4.3.6 Distress Alert call
If a Distress Alert call is received, the radio will sound an in-
coming call alarm.
The display will flash between “DISTRESS ALERT” and the
caller’s MMSI along with the nature of the distress details.
If the caller’s MMSI is stored in the MMSI directory (see sec-
tion 5.2), the display will show the name stored instead of the
MMSI number (Fig 4.16).
