Specifying Position Input (Position Edit) - JRC JSS-296 Instruction Manual

3.3.2

Specifying Position Input (POSITION EDIT)

This operation enters the ship's position data manually. However if the NCT-196N is connected to a navigation aid,
which inputs the date and time data, the data from the navigation aid overwrite this position data input manually
because the navigation aid has priority over the NCT-196N. The position data is used in the distress file when
pressing the DISTRESS button, in the automatic acknowledgement files and as the initial value when editing
messages. For the "SETUP" screen, please see Section 3.3.1, " Setting the Internal Clock (DATE&TIME EDIT)",
steps 1 to 4. Note that in case of no navigation aid connecting, the position data should be set manually and
periodically because it is treated as invalid and deleted after 23.5 hours past.
