MHS126 RADIO VHF MARITIME GUIDE D’UTILISATION VHF MARINE RADIO OWNER’S MANUAL Making a Distress Call Speak slowly - clearly - calmly. For future reference, write your boat’s name & call sign here: 1. Make sure your radio is on. 2. On the radio, press the 16/9-Tri button to switch to Channel 16 (156.8 MHz). (If the corner of the display does not show 16, press the 16/9-Tri button again until it does.) 3. Press the push to talk button and say: “MAYDAY -- MAYDAY -- MAYDAY.” 4. Say “THIS IS {name of your boat (three times) and call sign/boat registration number (once)}. ” 5. Say “MAYDAY {name or call sign of your boat}.” 6. Tell where you are: (what navigational aids or landmarks are near, or read the latitude and longitude from your GPS). 7. State the nature of your distress, (e.g. are you sinking, medical emergency, man overboard, on fire, adrift, etc. 8. State the type of assistance you need (medical, towing, pumps, etc.). 9. Give number of persons aboard and conditions of any injured persons. 10. Estimate present seaworthiness of your ship (e.g. how immediate is the danger due to flooding or fire or proximity to shore). 11. Briefly describe your ship, giving the ship name (e.g. “Blue Duck is 32 foot cabin cruiser, white hull, blue deck house”). 12. Say: “I WILL BE LISTENING ON CHANNEL 16.” 13. End message by saying “THIS IS {name or call sign of your boat}, OVER.” 14. Release the push to talk button and listen. If you do not get an answer after 30 seconds, repeat your call, beginning at step 3, above. Faire un appel de détresse Faire un appel de détresse vocal Parlez lentement – clairement – calmement. Pour toute référence ultérieure, transcrivez ci-dessous le nom et l’indicatif d’appel de votre bateau : 1. Vérifiez si votre radio est en marche. 2. Appuyez sur la touche 16/9-Tri de la radio afin de commuter au canal 16 (156,8 MHz). (Si le canal 16 n’apparaît pas à l’affichage, appuyez de nouveau sur la touche 16/9-Tri jusqu’à ce qu’il soit affiché.) 3. Appuyez sur le bouton de microphone push to talk et dites :“MAYDAY - MAYDAY – MAYDAY”. 4. Donnez l’identité de votre navire en disant : “ ICI {nom de votre bateau (trois fois) ou indicatif d’appel et le numéro d’identification de votre bateau (une fois)}”. 5. Dites “MAYDAY {nom ou indicatif d’appel de votre bateau} une fois”. 6. Donnez votre position : (quels sont les points de repère ou aides à la navigation près de vous ou lisez les coordonnées de longitude et de latitude apparaissant sur votre dispositif GPS). 7. Révélez la nature de votre détresse (par exemple, nous sommes en train de couler, urgence médicale, un homme à la mer, un incendie, nous sommes à la dérive, etc. 8. Révélez la nature de l’assistance désirée (médicale, remorquage, essence, etc.) 9. Donnez le nombre de personnes à bord et les conditions des blessés, s’il y en a. 10. Donnez la condition de navigabilité actuelle de votre navire, tel que le degré de l’urgence par rapport à l’inondation, à l’incendie ou à votre proximité de la côte. 11. Donnez une brève description de votre navire en donnant le nom du bateau (par exemple, “Blue Duck est un yacht de croisière de 32 pieds, avec une coque blanche et un rouffle bleu.”). 12. Dites : “ JE VAIS ÉCOUTER SUR LE CANAL 16”. 13. Terminez le message en disant “ ICI {nom ou indicatif d’appel de votre bateau}, À VOUS”. 14. Relâchez le bouton push to talk du microphone et écoutez. Si vous n’obtenez pas de réponse après 30 secondes, répétez l’appel encommençant à l’étape 3 ci-dessus.
