CAUTIONS
Before supplying power, users are urged to read this operation manual with attention.
1. How to make Distress Call and stop
1-1. When any distress call is made, press
DISTRESS
button for 3s until DISTRESS
MESSAGE is seen, then the overall display unit will be flamed with a high level of alert
sound. In transmitting any distress call, it should be made based on the duty person’s
judgment of the ship. As this test may cause a huge damage to neighboring ships or to
rescue authorities, users MUST NOT make the test.
1-2. If the distress call is performed, the distress message will be automatically transmitted
at repetitive intervals of 3m 30s ~ 4m 30s. This transmission repeats until the previous
DSC made by the own station is received or any operation for stop is performed. If any
transmission is mistakenly made, press
ESC/F
button to stop it. Even though the
operation for stop is made, users need to contact Channel 16 to inform about the
accidental transmission because the message was automatically transmitted.
1-3 When any distress call is received, please inform the person in charge of it.
