Once muted, the audio alarm is reduced to a single beep every 5 seconds on the
local Internal Router router only. The STROBE on this device will also stop flashing,
so that night vision is not affected.
Canceling an Man Overboard Alarm
WARNING:
Never cancel an alarm unless you are sure that everyone is
accounted for.
You may wish to cancel a man overboard alarm if:
·
A person leaves the vessel carrying an active Tag and disconnects from the
network, or
·
An active Tag is lost overboard and cannot be retrieved, or
·
A Tag's battery runs flat.
To cancel the alarm using the Display Console:
Press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
This will cancel the alarm across the network, except for the man overboard Tag that
has disconnected (moved out of range of the wireless network). This temporarily
removes the Tag from the Display Console and effectively places it into standby
mode. The next time the Tag is turned on within range of the Display Console it will
rejoin the network automatically.
To cancel the alarm on the disconnected Tag:
1. Press and hold the button on a Tag for 10 seconds, or
2. Bring the Tag back within range of the network.
