The distress signal receiver was supposedly a component in the Doctor's TARDIS that let the Doctor pick up distress signals from anyone, anywhere. He always answered them despite not knowing who had sent them.

The distress signal receiver was located on the TARDIS console. (TV: Planet of Evil) On at least three occasions, it was the psychic paper that received the distress signals. (TV: New Earth, Silence in the Library, Night Terrors)
