  • Page 3 CAUTIONS AGAINST HIGH VOLTAGE Radio and radar devices are operated by high voltages of anywhere from a few hundred volts up to many hundreds of thousands of volts. Although there is no danger with normal use, it is very dangerous if contact is made with the internal parts of these devices. (Only specialists should attempt any maintenance, checking or adjusting.) There is a very high risk of death by even a few thousand volts, in some cases you can be fatally electrocuted by just a few hundred volts.
  • Page 4 First aid ☆Note points for first aid Unless there is impending danger leave the victim where he or she is, then begin artificial respiration. Once you begin artificial respiration, you must continue without losing rhythm. (1) Make contact with the victim cautiously, there is a risk that you may get electrocuted. (2) Switch off the machinery and then move the victim away slowly if you must.
  • Page 5 ☆If the victim has a pulse but is not breathing (“Mouth to mouth” resuscitation) Figure 1 (1) Place the victim’s head facing backward (place something under the neck like a pillow). (2) Point the chin upward to widen the trachea. (3) Pinch the victim’s nose, take a deep breath, then put your mouth over the victim’s mouth and exhale completely, making sure that your mouth completely covers the victim’s mouth.
  • Page 6 ☆ If the victim has no pulse and is not breathing (Heart massage in combination with artificial respiration.) Figure 2 If the victim has no pulse, his or her pupils are dilated, and if you cannot detect a heartbeat, the heart may have stopped, beginning artificial respiration is critical.

  • Page 10: Handling Precautions

    Doing so may save the lives of the crews and passengers on the ship in distress. This equipment is used for both distress communication and routine communication. Contact JRC or our agent if any problem is observed in this unit during routine operation or inspection.
  • Page 11 CAUTION Do not use this equipment anyplace other than specified. Doing so may cause failure or malfunction. Do not turn the trimmer resistors or the trimmer capacitors on the PCB unit. Doing so may cause failure or malfunction. Do not install the equipment in a place near water or in one with excessive humidity, steam, dust, or soot.
  • Page 12 CAUTION DSC messages with incorrect format or data may not be received, but it is not a malfunction. Also if the data terminal is not connected, the equipment does not receive DSC calls requesting ARQ/FEC communication, regardless of either the category of routine, safety, urgency or distress.
  • Page 13 CAUTION The print head of the NKG-900 printer may be very hot after printing. Do not touch the print head of the printer. Make sure the print head is cool before replacing the paper or cleaning the print head. Do not use the NKG-900 printer if there is no ink ribbon cartridge or paper. Do not twist the ink ribbon when installing the ink ribbon cartridge.
  • Page 14 Sending a Distress Alert CAUTION When sending a distress alert, follow the instructions of the ship's captain or officer in charge. Open the DISTRESS key cover on the NCM-2150 MF/HF CONTROLLER. Press and hold the DISTRESS key for 4 seconds to send the distress alert. When the countdown is finished the screen below on the right is displayed, and after antenna tuning the distress alerts are transmitted.
  • Page 15 After receiving acknowledgement, use the radiotelephone to request rescue. First, the responding station calls by radiotelephone. Communicate the following information to that station. Say "MAYDAY". Say "This is (name of your ship)". Tell the station the ship's Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number, call sign, ship's position, nature of distress, and rescue requests.
  • Page 16 Receiving a Distress Alert WARNING If a distress alert is received, make sure to inform the ship's captain or officer in charge. Doing so may save the lives of the crews and passengers on the ship in distress. When a distress alert is received, the information such as the ID number of the ship in distress and the stage of the distress event are displayed.

    Appendix 11.5 Guide to MF/HF operation Be aware of the following points when using the MF/HF radio equipment. Frequencies available for communication are always changing. Not all frequency bandwidths can always be used for communication. After sending the DSC test call to a coast station, you will not always receive the acknowledgement.
  • Page 203 Appendix Selecting communication frequencies in the MF/HF band (reference) When communicating with the MF/HF radio equipment, select frequencies referring to the frequency transition table and the radio wave propagation images (excluding the polar latitudes) shown below Example: When communicating with a station approximately 5000 km away at around 12 pm in the winter with a sunspot number of 100, select frequencies in the 18, 22, or 25 MHz bands for the best results.
