− If no confirmation is received, the device will re-send the distress call at
intermissions of 3.5 – 4.5 minutes (even with channel 70 in use), until a
confirmation is received or until the user manually cancels the call through the C-
button.
, By pressing button 16, the transceiver will return to normal VHF operation, but the
call will not be cancelled and the person who responded to the call may not have
called off rescue operations.

elapsed, the distress call will not be sent. To exit and return to VHF mode, press button
16.
The acoustic alarm will only stop definitively once the transceiver has received
confirmation from the receiver of the call.
It is possible to arrest the acoustic alarm by pressing the button “C” or “16”.
