Scroll up and down using the
Scroll Up and Scroll Down buttons until the alert that must be edited is
highlighted, and press the Enter button.
The Alert Editor is opened, pre-populated with the parameters of the chosen Alert. See section 8.1 for
details of these parameters.
8.6 Setting the Vessel Operating Mode
The Vessel Operating Mode must be set on each DSM150. This is a potentially risky operation, in
that Alerts that are Active in the existing mode may be ignored in the new Operating Mode. The
DSM150 will warn the operator about these Alerts to minimize the risk. However, if the new vessel
status was transmitted to other Alert Sources that are unmanned, then the warnings would be lost.
For this reason, the Vessel Operating mode must be changed at each DSM150 or N2Kview, and
those alerts, which would be disabled, noted by the user.
The Vessel Operating Mode is set through the Alert Setup Screen.
Scroll Down to the required
Operating Mode entry, press Enter and then use the Scroll Up / Scroll Down buttons to select the
new Mode. Press Enter to complete the operation.
