Chapter 3: Getting started
Note If a Distress LES is not defined for each Ocean Region, an alarm
will appear and the entry ‘Distress LES is not selected in all
Ocean Regions’ will be added to the alarm log.
To cancel the Distress mode, press and hold the Distress Stop button, after
the button light becomes constant, but before the 15 seconds timer runs
out. The display will then show Distress Aborted.
If the Distress call is continued, the handset will display DISTRESS -
Calling. The call will be connected to the RCC, the handset will display
DISTRESS - Connected and the cradle LED ‘Priority call’ will light
up. You can now make the Distress call
3. Use the handset to talk to the RCC operator.
The ‘Distress’ button light will stay on until the call is aborted.
Distress call failure. 3.4.3
If the Distress call fails to connect due to a system malfunction (BDU, ADU,
satellite or terrestrial), the light in the cradle ‘Distress’ button will turn off and
the system will return to a normal state.
Distress and Priority call to the ship 3.4.4
The RCC operator can generate a distress alert priority call to the ship. The
‘Priority Call’ LED will start flashing on all cradles, and if the call has distress
priority the buzzer will beep with 1 second intervals. Any calls with lower
priority, including MPDS sessions, are preempted and a busy tone is heard.
Answer the distress and priority call by picking up a handset or by pressing
after which the ‘Priority Call’ LED will light steadily and the buzzer stops
beeping.
The ‘Priority Call’ LED is turned off when the call is terminated.
If the call is not answered by the ship, but terminated by the RCC, the Alarm
LED turns on to indicate that there was an unanswered distress alert or priority
call. Details about the alarm can be checked in the alarm log.
