The frequencies are 121.500 MHz for civilian and 243.000 MHz for military use. Both are in use at the international level. In the U.S.A. 121.500 is monitored by ATC towers, FSS services, national ATC centers and other flight and emergency services. The emergency frequency is sometimes reffered to as 'Guard'.

An emergency signal may be transmitted by voluntary action by the worker, by sensing the worker's physical condition, or by sensing the condition of an environmental protection system (such as a self-contained breathing apparatus) carded by the worker.
In response to receipt of an emergency event signal by the controller/modem module 91 from the vessel data module 93, the module 91 first issues a wake-up command on a signal line 95 that is received by a data interface module 97 for transmission apparatus 101.
A decoded emergency event signal, DEES, is issued by the EES decoder module 137 on a first signal line 139, and the DEES is received by a signal splitter module 141 that issues the DEES on a second signal line 143 and on a third signal line 145.
