Abstract
A radio apparatus includes a Man-Overboard detection unit, a control unit and a distress key. The Man-Overboard detection unit outputs a Man-Overboard signal when the radio apparatus has fallen to a water surface or into water. The control unit generates a distress signal including a distress type. A distress key outputs a distress key manipulation signal to the control unit when the distress key is manipulated. When the control unit receives the Man-Overboard signal from the Man-Overboard detection unit, the control unit automatically sets a distress type of the distress signal to Man-Overboard.
