How to Make an Emergency Call

The purpose of an emergency call is to immediately start the watch timer from the 2nd
stage. (This feature is disabled if the watch alarm is already in the 2nd or 3rd stage.)
Press the EMG key to start the emergency call.
The system goes into the 2nd stage (or 3rd stage depending on system setting). In the
2nd stage, the following occurs:
• Main Alarm Panel presents a visual alarm and sounds its buzzer.
• Timer Reset Panel flashes its ALARM LED and sounds its buzzer.
• Cabin Panel:
• Captain's room: ALARM LED lights and buzzer sounds.
• Backup officer (selected on BNWAS display): ALARM LED lights and buzzer
sounds.
• Other backup officer: No action
• Public cabin: ALARM LED lights and buzzer sounds.
• Flash Beacon flashes or is OFF (depending on DIP SW setting).
If the visual and audible alarms are not cancelled at the 2nd stage, the system goes
to the 3rd stage and all visual and audible alarms are generated.
To stop the buzzer or cancel the emergency call, press the RESET key on the Main
Alarm Panel. The system returns to the dormant state.
