distress signal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flare for example' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'regularly admit emphasis on remarkable' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'emphasis' becomes 'stress' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'remarkable' becomes 'signal' (signal can mean striking or noteworthy).
The alternating letters of 'admit' are 'di'.
'di'+'stress'+'signal'='DISTRESS SIGNAL'

(Another definition for distress signal that I've seen is " indication that urgent help is needed".)
