call, that information is also available and recorded with the call.

Man-Overboard Distress Calls Initiated from a VHF Radio
When your Garmin chartplotter is connected to a Garmin NMEA 2000-compatible radio, and you initiate a 
man-overboard DSC distress call from your radio, your Garmin chartplotter shows the man-overboard screen 
and prompts you to navigate to the man-overboard point. If you have a Garmin autopilot system connected to 
the network, your chartplotter prompts you to start a Williamson’s turn to the man-overboard point.
If you cancel the man-overboard distress call on the radio, the chartplotter screen prompting you to activate 
navigation to the man-overboard location disappears.
Man-Overboard Distress Calls Initiated from the Chartplotter
When your Garmin chartplotter is connected to a Garmin NMEA 2000-compatible radio and you activate 
navigation to a man-overboard location, the radio shows the Distress Call page so you can quickly initiate a 
man-overboard distress call.
On the radio, press the DISTReSS key for at least three seconds to send the distress call.
