Distress call 3.4
Introduction 3.4.1
Note The distress functionality is available on Fleet77 systems only.
A distress call is an automated way of calling for help (SOS). A distress call
from the Fleet77 system is a voice call, which means that the call will be
connected to an operator at the RCC (Rescue Coordination Center). When the
distress call is connected, the ship’s position and the MES ID are sent to the
RCC. This enables the center to identify and locate the ship.
To make a Distress call. 3.4.2
To initiate a Distress call, do as follows:
1. Press and hold the Distress button on the cradle.
The button will flash with intervals of 1 second and the cradle buzzer will
beep with the same interval. After 5 seconds, the button light becomes
constant and the buzzer stops beeping. Any ongoing call is preempted,
unless it is a Distress call. During the preemption the handset display
shows the message ‘DISTRESS Wait’.
If the distress button is released within the 5 seconds, the distress call is
canceled and the terminal returns to its normal state.
2. Release the Distress button when the light in the button becomes constant.
After the preemption, if any, the handset shows the message ‘Select LES’.
Scroll through the LES list with the and keys and select the LES
by pressing OK .
If you do not select a LES nor press #
or within 15 seconds, the
call will be initiated through the LES pre-configured in the Distress LES. If
no Distress LES is configured, the Default LES will be used instead. If no
Default LES is configured, the NCS redirects the call to an appropriate LES.
