CAUTION
When sending a drobose call, do not press the DISTRESS key. Doing so
may cause a false distress call.
(Drobose calls can be sent via the [Call] button displayed on the screen.)
A distress acknowledgement or a distress relay call can be transmitted from a
received distress message stored in the log, but when sending such a call,
follow the instructions of the ship's captain or officer in charge.
Received distress calls are automatically deleted after 48 hours to avoid
accidental resending or other misoperation. Accordingly, if such messages
cannot be read, it is not a malfunction.
The received distress message logs are cleared when turning off the power by
such as the breaker on the transceiver. Due to the SOLAS Convention
(keeping watch on distress and safety frequencies at all times), do not turn off
the equipment when at sea.
The time in the 7.1 Date & time menu means the present time, and is different

The time in the 7.2 POS/TIME menu means the time when the position
