Sec. 80.318 Use of alarm signals.
(a) The radiotelegraph or radiotelephone alarm signal, as appropriate, must
only be used to announce:
(1) That a distress call or message is about to follow;
(2) The transmission of an urgent cyclone warning. In this case the alarm
signal may only be used by coast stations authorized by the Commission to do
so; or
(3) The loss of a person or persons overboard. In this case the alarm signal
may only be used when the assistance of other ships is required and cannot
be satisfactorily obtained by the use of the urgency signal only, but the
alarm signal must not be repeated by other stations. The message must be
preceded by the urgency signal.
(b) In cases described in paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section, the
transmission of the warning or message by radiotelegraphy must not begin
until two minutes after the end of the radiotelegraph alarm signal.
