Figure 126. No GPS warning at pressing "MOB" button
Basically, the MOB mode can be triggered by two situations:
1.
The vessel’s crew witnesses a person falling over board. The MOB mode can be activated
manually by pressing the MOB button (s. Figure 8, position 7) of the DCU keypad.
2.
The person, who falls over board, is wearing an ELT (emergency locator transmitter) that
produces a typical modulated emergency signal. The emergency signals are recognized by
RT-500-M and can activate the MOB function if the corresponding setting is activated.
To adjust the trigger event for starting the MOB mode, press the “OK” button or hotkey “Edit Value”,
while the setting “MOB Trigger” is marked. The following dialog will open (s. Figure 127).
