Distress Alert Screen

If time permits, use the

SELECT

knob to select the nature of distress.

Otherwise, hold the red button (as soon as the button is pressed again,
an intermittent acoustic alarm is sounded and the distress alert screen
flashes until the DISTRESS is sent automatically, in about 3 seconds).
Before the distress is sent, you may release the red button to reset the
countdown timer. When the distress is sent, the sending distress call
screen appears. The acoustic alarm goes steady-on and remains on un-
til an acknowledgment is received or the acoustic alarm is cancelled.
