INSTRUCTIONS
Please read this operating manual with care before turning on power.
1. How to transmit and stop Distress Call
In performing Distress Call function, press
button and hold it down for
3(three) seconds until DISTRESS MESSAGE is seen. Then the whole display
unit will start flashing with a strong alarm. In transmitting Distress Call, the
transmission must be made based on the judgment of a person on duty. The
test of this function MUST NOT be made at all times because the test may
cause heavy damages to near-going vessels and search & rescue authorities
concerned.
When the Distress Call is performed, the distress message will be
automatically transmitted and this transmission will be repeated at the
intervals of 3 minutes 30 seconds through 4 minutes 30 seconds. This
transmission will be repeated until the DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is
received by the authorities of the country to which the call is transmitted or
until any operation for ending the call is made. If any transmission is made by
accident, press
button to bring it to an end. Even though any operation for stop has
been made, it is necessary for operator to contact CH16 to inform that the
transmission was made by mistake as the message was automatically
transmitted more than one time at least.
When Distress Call is received, it is necessary to inform a person on duty
about this.
